GNU emacs has font-lock mode, just like xemacs does, if you like to have
it everywhere, the info file that comes with GNU emacs, suggests you use:
(global-font-lock-mode t)
(setq font-lock-maximum-decoration t)
in your .emacs. It also suggests:
(setq font-lock-support-mode 'lazy-lock-mode)
to make it faster on large files.
To my knowledge, nvi -- the "vi" you get with freebsd -- doesn't have
color higlighting, but (x)vile, elvis, and vim all do. Both xvile and vim
are in ports/editors -- vim5 has syntax highlighting, I don't think vim4
does. VIM is a really neat vi superset, by the way.
