I didn't see anyone answer this, so I'd just say:
if you can bear the pain of learning a more powerful editor you can 
get this.  Emacs and Vim will do syntax colouring, and I'm pretty
sure there are bindings for emacs to do the indent stuff.
Some will argue that learning a more powerful editor and getting
to know its features is well woth the time spent.

You can find more information here:

I'm not sure about a separate utility though.
