DEVELOPER CONTACT 1. OVERVIEW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highlight converts sourcecode to HTML, XHTML, RTF, LaTeX, TeX, SVG, BBCode and terminal escape sequences with coloured syntax highlighting. Language definitions and colour themes are customizable. 1.1 INTENDED PURPOSE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Highlight was designed to offer a flexible but easy to use syntax highlighter for several output formats. Instead of hardcoded syntax or colouring information, all relevant data is stored in configuration scripts. These scripts may be altered or enhanced with plug-in scripts. 1.2 FEATURE LIST ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * highlighting of keywords, types, strings, numbers, escape sequences, comments, operators and preprocessor directives * coloured output in HTML, XHTML 1.1, RTF, TeX, LaTeX, SVG, BBCode and terminal escape sequences * supports referenced stylesheet files for HTML, LaTeX, TeX or SVG output * syntax elements are defined as regular expressions or plain string lists * customizable keyword groups * recognition of nested languages within a file * configuration files are Lua scripts * supports plug-in scripts for language definitions and themes * reformatting and indentation of C, C++, C# and Java source code * wrapping of long lines * output of line numbers 1.3 SUPPORTED PROGRAMMING AND MARKUP LANGUAGES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see README_LANGLIST for the current set of supported languages. You may also run "highlight --list-langs" to get a list of supported file extensions. 2. USAGE AND OPTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.1 QUICK INTRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following examples show how to produce a highlighted C++ file, using an input file called main.cpp: - Generate HTML: highlight -i main.cpp -o main.cpp.html highlight < main.cpp > main.cpp.html --syntax cpp You will find the HTML file and highlight.css in the working directory. If you use IO redirection, you must define the programming language with --syntax. - Generate HTML with embedded CSS definitions and line numbers: highlight -i main.cpp -o main.cpp.html --include-style --line-numbers - Generate HTML with inline CSS definitions: highlight -i main.cpp -o main.cpp.html --inline-css - Generate HTML using "horstmann" source formatting style and "neon" colour theme: highlight -i main.cpp -o main.cpp.html --reformat horstmann --style neon - Generate LaTeX: highlight --out-format=latex -i main.cpp -o main.cpp.tex The following output formats may be defined with --out-format: html: HTML 4.01 xhtml: XHTML 1.1 tex: Plain TeX latex: LaTeX rtf: RTF svg: SVG bbcode: BBCode ansi: Terminal 16 color escape codes xterm256: Terminal 256 color escape codes Default output is HTML if no other format is specified. - Customize font settings: highlight --syntax ada --out-format=xhtml --font-size 12 --font Consolas,\'Courier\ New\' highlight --syntax ada --out-format=latex --font-size tiny --font sffamily - Define an output directory: highlight -d some/target/dir/ *.cpp *.h See "highlight --help" or "man highlight" for more details. 2.2 CLI OPTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The command line version of highlight offers following options: USAGE: highlight [OPTIONS]...

It includes a dynamic preview of the output file's apperarance. Please see screenshots and flash animations on the project website. 2.4 INPUT AND OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If no input or output file name is defined by --input and --output options, highlight will use stdin and stdout for file processing. If no input filename is defined by --input or given at the prompt, highlight is not able to determine the language type by means of the file extension (but some scripting languages are figured out by the shebang in the first input line). In this case you have to pass highlight the given langage with --syntax (this should be the file suffix of the source file in most cases). Example: If you want to convert a Python file, highlight needs to load the py.lang language definition. The correct argument of --syntax would be "py". If you pass the filename directly to highlight, the program fetches the ".py" extension from the file name. highlight test.py highlight < test.py --syntax py # --syntax option necessary cat test.py | highlight --syntax py If there exist multiple suffixes (like C, cc, cpp, h for C++ - files), you assign them to the matching language definition in the file $CONF_DIR/filetypes.conf. Highlight enters the batch processing mode if multiple input files are defined or if --batch-recursive is set. In batch mode, highlight will save the generated files with the original filename, appending the extension of the chosen output type. If files in the input directories happen to share the same name, the output files will be prefixed with their source path name. The --out-dir option is recommended in batch mode. Use --quiet to improve performance (recommended for usage in shell scripts). HTML, TeX, LaTeX and SVG output ------------------------------- The HTML, TeX, LaTeX and SVG output formats allow to reference style definition files which contain the formatting information (stylesheets). In HTML and SVG output, this file contains CSS definitions and is saved as 'highlight.css'. In LaTeX and TeX, it contains macro definitions, and is saved as 'highlight.sty'. Name and path of the stylesheet may be modified with --style-outfile. If the --outdir option is given, all generated output, including stylesheets, are stored in this directory. Use --include-style to embed the style information in the output documents without referencing a stylesheet. Referenced style definitions have the advantage to share all formatting information in a single file, which affects all referencing documents. With --style-infile you define a file to be included in the final formatting information of the document. This way you enhance or redefine the default highlight style definitions without editing generated code. Terminal output: ---------------- Since there are limited colours defined for ANSI terminal output, there exists only one hard coded colour theme with --out-format=ansi. You should therefore use --out-format=xterm256 to enable output in 256 colours. The 256 colour mode is supported by recent releases of xterm, rxvt and Putty (among others). highlight --out-format=ansi <inputfile> | less -R highlight --out-format=xterm256 <inputfile> | less -R Text processing: ---------------- If the language definition is specified as "txt", no highlighting takes place. highlight -S txt --out-format=latex README > README.tex Examples -------- The following commands write the content of hello.c to hello.html: highlight -o hello.html -i hello.c highlight -o hello.html hello.c highlight -o hello.html --syntax c < hello.c highlight --syntax c < hello.c > hello.html Apart from hello.html, a file highlight.css is generated in the current working directory. highlight --out-format=xhtml --batch-recursive '*.cpp' --outdir ~/html_code/ This command converts all *.cpp files in the current directory and its sub- directories to xhtml files, and stores the output in /home/you/html_code. highlight -out-format=latex * --outdir /home/you/latex_code/ This command onverts all files to LaTeX, stored in /home/you/latex_code/. highlight -c stdout -s seashell --print-style This command prints only the CSS information to stdout (theme: Seashell). 2.5 GNU SOURCE-HIGHLIGHT COMPATIBILITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The command line interface is extensively harmonised with source-highlight (http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/). The following highlight options have the same meaning as in source-highlight: --input, --output, --help, --version, --out-format, --title, --data-dir, --verbose, --quiet, --ctags-file These options were added to enhance compatibility: --css, --doc, --failsafe, --line-number, --line-number-ref, --no-doc, --tab, --output-dir, --src-lang These switches provide a common highlighter interface for scripts, plugins etc. 2.6 ADVANCED OPTIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding Exuberant Ctags information ---------------------------------- HTML output can be enhanced with descriptive tooltips based on ctags data: ctags *.* highlight --ctags-file *.cpp The default ctags-file parameter is "tags", so it is omitted in this example. This command will add the type, namespace and definition file path of recognized language tokens. Example: "member | class:highlight::HtmlGenerator | htmlgenerator.h" Prevent parsing of binary input files ------------------------------------- If highlight could be invoked with all kinds of input, you can disable parsing of binary files using --validate-input. This flag causes highlight to match the input file header with a list of magic numbers. If a binary file type is detected, highlight quits with an error message. This switch also removes an UTF-8 BOM in the output. Highlight nested code without starting delimiter ------------------------------------------------ If a file starts with an embedded code section which misses an appropriate opening delimiter, the --start-nested option will switch to the nested language mode. This can happen with LuaTeX files: highlight luatex.tex --latex --start-nested=inc_luatex The inc_luatex definition is a Lua language definition with TeX line comments. Note that the nested code section has to end with the ending delimiter defined in the host language definition. 2.7 TIPS AND TRICKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test new configuration scripts: ------------------------------- The option --config-file helps to test new config files before installing them. The given file must be a lang or theme file. highlight --config-file xxx.lang --config-file yyy.theme -I Debug language definitions: -------------------------- Use --verbose to display the Lua and syntax data. Modify HTML line number formatting: ----------------------------------- /* content of user.css */ pre.hl { border-width: 1px; border-style:solid; border-left-color: silver; border-top-color: silver; border-right-color: gray; border-bottom-color: gray; } .hl.lin { border-right:1px solid #555555; padding-left:0.5em; padding-right:0.5em; margin-right:1em; text-decoration:none; } Usage: highlight -l --style-infile user.css main.cpp HTML list formatting tricks: ---------------------------- The following examples assume that HTML was generated as ordered list using the --ordered-list switch. Include the CSS snippets with --style-infile. /* highlight odd lines */ ol li:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #1f3030; } /* highlight every 5th line*/ ol li:nth-child(5n) { background-color: #1f3030; } /* highlight every 10th line number*/ ol li:nth-child(10n) { color: #ffff00; } Remove an UTF8 BOM: ------------------- Use --validate-input to get rid of the UTF8 byte order mark. 3. CONFIGURATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.1 FILE FORMAT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The configuration files are Lua scripts. These constructs are sufficient to edit the scripts: Variable assigment: name = value (variables have no type, only values have) Strings: string1="string literal with escape: \n" string2=[[raw string without escape sequence]] If a raw string content starts with "[" or ends with "]", pad the paranthesis with space to avoid a syntax error. Highlight will strip the string. Comments: -- line comment --[[ block comment ]] Arrays: array = { first=1, second="2", 3, { 4,5 } } Arrays may contain variables and can be nested. Please refer to http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html for more details about the Lua syntax. 3.2 REGULAR EXPRESSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see README_REGEX for the supported regex constructs. 3.3 LANGUAGE DEFINITIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A language definition describes all elements of a programming language which will be highlighted by different colours and font types. Save the new file in $HL_DIR/langDefs, using the following name convention: <usual extension of sourcecode files>.lang Examples: PHP -> php.lang, Java -> java.lang If there exist multiple suffixes, list them in $HL_DIR/filetypes.conf. Syntax elements: Keywords = { Id, List|Regex, Group? } Id: Integer, keyword group id (values 1-4, can be used for several keyword groups) List: List, list of keywords Regex: String, regular expression Group: Integer, capturing group id of regular expression, defines part of regex which should be returned as keyword (optional; if not set, the match with the highest group number is returned (counts from left to right)) Comments = { {Block, Nested?, Delimiter={Open, Close?} } Block: Boolean, true if comment is a block comment Nested: Boolean, true if block comments can be nested (optional) Delimiter: List, contains open delimiter regex (line comment) or open and close delimiter regexes (block comment) Strings = { Delimiter|DelimiterPairs={Open, Close, Raw?}, Escape?, RawPrefix? } Delimiter: String, regular expression which describes string delimiters DelimiterPairs: List, includes open and close delimiters if not equal (regex), includes optional Raw flag as boolean which marks delimiter pair to contain a raw string Escape: String, regular expression of escape sequences (optional) RawPrefix: String, defines raw string indicator (optional) PreProcessor = { Prefix, Continuation? } Prefix: String, regular expression which describes open delimiter Continuation: String, contains continuation character (optional) NestedSections = {Lang, Delimiter= {} } Lang: String, name of nested language Delimiter: List, contains open and close delimiters of the code section Description: String, Defines syntax description Digits: String, Regular expression which defines digits (optional) Identifiers: String, Regular expression which defines identifiers (optional) Operators: String,Regular expression which defines operators EnableIndentation: Boolean, set true if syntax may be reformatted and indented IgnoreCase: Boolean, set true if keyword case should be ignored Global variables: The following variables are available within a language definition: hl_lang_dir: path of language definition directory (use with Lua dofile function) Identifiers: Default regex for identifiers Digits: Default regex for numbers The following integer variables represent the internal highlighting states: HL_STANDARD HL_STRING HL_NUMBER HL_LINE_COMMENT HL_BLOCK_COMMENT HL_ESC_SEQ HL_PREPROC HL_PREPROC_STRING HL_OPERATOR HL_LINENUMBER HL_KEYWORD HL_STRING_END HL_LINE_COMMENT_END HL_BLOCK_COMMENT_END HL_ESC_SEQ_END HL_PREPROC_END HL_OPERATOR_END HL_KEYWORD_END HL_EMBEDDED_CODE_BEGIN HL_EMBEDDED_CODE_END HL_IDENTIFIER_BEGIN HL_IDENTIFIER_END HL_UNKNOWN Hook functions: OnStateChange(oldState, newState, token, kwGroupID) Hook Event: Highlighting parser state change Parameters: oldState: old state newState: intended new state token: the current token which triggered the new state kwGroupID: if newState is HL_KEYWORD, the parameter contains the keyword group ID Returns: Correct state to continue Other functions: AddKeyword(keyword, kwGroupID) Parameters: keyword: string which should be added to a keyword list kwGroupID: keyword group ID of the keyword Returns: true if successfull Keywords added with AddKeyword will remain active for all files of the same syntax if highlight is run in batch mode. Example: -------- Description="C and C++" Keywords={ { Id=1, List={"goto", "break", "return", "continue", "asm", "case", "default", -- [..] } }, -- [..] } Strings = { Delimiter=[["|']], RawPrefix="R", } Comments = { { Block=true, Nested=false, Delimiter = { [[\/\*]], [[\*\/]] } }, { Block=false, Delimiter = { [[//]] } } } IgnoreCase=false PreProcessor = { Prefix=[[#]], Continuation="\\", } Operators=[[\(|\)|\[|\]|\{|\}|\,|\;|\.|\:|\&|\<|\>|\!|\=|\/|\*|\%|\+|\-|\~]] EnableIndentation=true 3.4 THEME DEFINITIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colour themes contain the formatting information of the language elements which are described in language definitions. The files have to be stored as *.theme in HL_DIR/themes*. Apply a theme with the --style option. Format attributes: Attributes = {Colour, Bold?, Italic?, Underline? } Colour: String, defines colour in HTML hex notation ("#rrggbb") Bold: Boolean, true if font should be bold (optional) Italic: Boolean, true if font should be italic (optional) Underline: Boolean, true if font should be underlined (optional) Theme elements: Description: String, Defines theme description Default = Attributes (Colour of unspecified text) Canvas = Attributes (Background colour ) Number = Attributes (Formatting of numbers) Escape = Attributes (Formatting of escape sequences) String = Attributes (Formatting of strings) PreProcessor = Attributes (Formatting of preprocessor directives) StringPreProc = Attributes (Formatting of strings within preprocessor directives) BlockComment = Attributes (Formatting of block comments) LineComment = Attributes (Formatting of line comments) LineNum = Attributes (Formatting of line numbers) Operator = Attributes (Formatting of operators) Keywords= { Attributes1, Attributes2, Attributes3, Attributes4, } AttributesN: Formatting of keyword group N. There should be at least four items to match the number of keyword groups defined in the language definitions Example: Default = { Colour="#000000" } Canvas = { Colour="#ffffff" } Number = { Colour="#000000" } Escape = { Colour="#bd8d8b" } String = { Colour="#bd8d8b" } StringPreProc = { Colour="#bd8d8b" } BlockComment = { Colour="#ac2020", Italic=true } PreProcessor = { Colour="#000000" } LineNum = { Colour="#555555" } Operator = { Colour="#000000" } LineComment = BlockComment Keywords = { { Colour= "#9c20ee", Bold=true }, { Colour= "#208920" }, { Colour= "#0000ff" }, { Colour= "#000000" }, } 3.5 KEYWORD GROUPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may define custom keyword groups and corresponding highlighting styles. This is useful if you want to highlight functions of a third party library, macros, constants etc. You define a new group in two steps: 1. Define a new group in your language definition (lang file): Keywords = { -- add your keyword description: {Id=5, List = {"ERROR", "DEBUG", "WARN"} } } 2. Add a corresponding highlighting style in your colour theme (theme file): Keywords= { --add your keyword style as 5th item in the list: { Colour= "#ff0000", Bold=true }, } It is recommended to define keyword groups in user-defined plugin scripts to avoid editing of original highlight files. See the PLUG-IN SCRIPT section for details. 3.6 PLUG-INS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The --plug-in option receives the path of a Lua script which overrides or enhances the settings of theme and language definition files. Using plug-ins, it is possible to apply costum settings without the need to edit installed configuration files. You can apply multiple plugins by using the --plug-in option more than once. Format: -- function definitions, variables etc -- Plugin list: Plugins={ { Type, Chunk }, } Type: String, is one of ["theme", "lang"] Chunk: Name of Lua function If type is "theme", the chunk will applied to the colour theme. If type is "lang", the chunk will applied to the language definition. The chunk function will receive an optional parameter will contain a string with the description of the theme or language ("Description" parameter). The chunks are interpreted after the theme or lang file were loaded, so you can refer to elements defined in these files. The function AddKeyword can be invoked within a "lang" chunk. If OnStateChange is defined as local function within the chunk, this hook will become active. A predefined OnStateChange function of the language definition will be overriden. Example: Description="Add syslog and kernel log levels to C and C++ keywords" -- function to update language definition with syslog levels function syntaxUpdate(desc) if desc=="C and C++" then table.insert( Keywords, { Id=5, List={"LOG_EMERG", "LOG_CRIT", "LOG_ALERT", "LOG_ERR", "LOG_WARNING","LOG_NOTICE","LOG_INFO", "LOG_DEBUG"} } ) end end -- function to update theme definition function themeUpdate(desc) if desc=="Kwrite Editor" then Canvas={ Colour="#E0EAEE" } end table.insert(Keywords, {Colour= "#ff0000", Bold=true}) end Plugins={ { Type="theme", Chunk=themeUpdate }, { Type="lang", Chunk=syntaxUpdate }, } See README_PLUGINS for a detailed description. 3.7 FILE MAPPING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The script filetypes.conf assigns file extensions and shebang descriptions to language definitions. Format: FileMapping={ { Lang, Extensions|Shebang }, } Lang: String, name of language definition Extensions: list of strings, contains file extensions referring to "Lang" Shebang: String, Regular expression which matches the first line of the input file Edit the file gui_files/ext/fileopenfilter.conf to add new syntax types to the GUI's file open filter. 4.
