Caching Metafun images and VIM Syntax highlighted code
I am writing two books. One is on Rust programming and another is on geometry, so I have syntax highlighted code and in second has lost of diagrams. Perhaps Aditya Mahajan can tell me how can I cache code snippets. Invoking VIM will have heavy penalty on highlighting the code otherwise. Other than that, how can I cache Metafun images so that they are not recomputed on every processing of file. -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

Have you tried the vim module: https://github.com/adityam/filter/blob/dev/vim-README.md Caching is enabled out of the box, so you don't need to configure anything.
Other than that, how can I cache Metafun images so that they are not recomputed on every processing of file.
There used to a command for caching metafun images in MkII, but I don't know if that is really needed in LMTX. In most cases, metapost processing does not have a significant processing delay. Aditya

Dear Hans, Aditya,
Thanks for clarifying. In any case, I will process chapter-by-chapter,
so runtime should be manageable.

You can also try to extend ConTeXt's syntax highlighter (or the scite module) to support Rust which solves the cache problem. Wolfgang
