GNU Source-highlight 2.0 has been released. It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/src-highlite/ and mirrors of that site (see
list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).
GNU Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with
syntax highlighting.
At the moment this package can handle
C/C++
bison
caml
changelog
flex
fortran
html
java
javascript
log files
lua
sml
pascal
perl
php
prolog
python
ruby
as source languages, and
HTML
XHTML
ANSI color escape sequences (new)
as output format.
The huge novelty is that language specifications are read at run-time,
so that new languages can be easily added dynamically (without
recompiling the sources) by using a simple syntax (you don't have to
learn flex anymore to add a new language). It now depends on the Boost
regex library (http://www.boost.org/) so you need to install this
library (boost libraries are usually shipped with most distributions).
Here's, for instance, the definition of Java language
---------------- java.lang ------------------------------
preproc = "import","package"
include "c_comment.lang"
include "number.lang"
string delim "\"" "\"" escape "\\"
string delim "'" "'" escape "\\"
keyword = "abstract|assert|break|case|catch|class|const",
"continue|default|do|else|extends|false|final",
"finally|for|goto|if|implements|instanceof|interface"
keyword = "native|new|null|private|protected|public|return",
"static|strictfp|super|switch|synchronized|throw",
"throws|true|this|transient|try|volatile|while"
type = "int|byte|boolean|char|long|float|double|short|void"
include "symbols.lang"
cbracket = "{|}"
include "function.lang"
----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0
* Language specifications are read at run-time, so that
new languages can be easily added dynamically (without recompiling
the sources) by using a simple syntax.
* "nonsensitive" for simple definitions
* cgi version not built automatically
* failsafe option to simply output the input file when no
language definition is found
* functionalities with less improved.
I'd really appreciate some feedback! :-)
there's also a brand new texinfo manual, that also explains the syntax
for language definitions.
