[[template id=plugin name=syntax author="[[VictorMoral]]"]] [[tag type/chrome type/slow]] `syntax` is a plugin that add support to ikiwiki for syntax highlighting through the *vim* editor and its perl interface [[cpan Text::VimColor]], so it depends on a vim functional installation. The plugin inserts a fragment of HTML with special marks from a file or a string text. It accepts the following parameters: * **type** (optional): this is the file type for vim syntax highlighthing. It can be omitted if the param *file* exists. * **file**: Path to the source file. It must exist on every rebuild of the wiki. * **text**: Text string with the source. * **description** (optional): little description about the content. * **linenumbers** (optional): enable the line numering of the source page. A value greater than zero is the first line number. The params *file* and *text* are mutually exclusive. In the case of file parameter, `syntax` will build a html link for direct download. Example: \[[syntax type="perl" text=""" #!/usr/bin/perl my $a = "World"; print "Hello, ${a}\n"; """]] or \[[syntax file="/examples/hello.pl" description="My first perl program"]] This plugin create the following CSS styles: * syntax * synComment * synConstant * syncIdentifier * synPreProc * synType * synSpecial * synUnderlined * synError * synTodo * synTitle It can be downloaded from [here](http://taquiones.net/files/misc/) or through my personal debian repository at <http://taquiones.net/files/debian/>. There is a page with examples: <http://taquiones.net/software/syntax-examples.html> Any help, comments or critics are welcome at <victor@taquiones.net>. ## version 0.9 - Add a force_subpage parameter for link build - Fix a bug in syntax page link - Documented a bug with markdown indented text - Documented the syntax directive ## version 0.7 - Version change to GPL - Add *linenumbers* parameter - The *file* parameter should be point to a ikiwiki source page. - The *description* parameter will be converted on a URL if the *file* parameter exist. I need help for debugging this module. Thanks in advance.
