GNU Source-highlight
|
|
|
|
This program, given a source file, produces a document with syntax highlighting.
|
|
It also provides a C++ highlight library.
|
|
|
|
Source-highlight reads source language specifications dynamically, thus it can
|
|
be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new
|
|
languages. It also reads output format specifications dynamically, and thus it
|
|
can be easily extended (without recompiling the sources) for handling new
|
|
output formats. The syntax for these specifications is quite easy (take a look
|
|
at the manual).
|
|
|
|
Source-highlight is a command line program, and it can also be used as a CGI.
|
|
|
|
Notice that source-highlight can also be used as a formatter (i.e., without
|
|
highlighting): you can, for instance, format a txt file in HTML (and it will
|
|
take care of translating special characters, such as, <, >, &).
|
|
|
|
A common example:
|
|
less /usr/src/linux/kernel/panic.c
|
|
|
|
to tune the less, add in your .bash_profile these lines:
|
|
export LESSOPEN="| /usr/bin/src-hilite-lesspipe.sh %s"
|
|
export LESS=' -R '
