[[!template id=plugin name=sourcehighlight core=0 author="[[DavidBremner]]"]]
I noticed several places in the wiki talking about similar ideas, so I decided to put a page here to point to what I am working on.
I have implemented a simple wrapper around
source-highlight.  You can find the latest version in
git.
You must specify highlight_lang=>"foo,bar" in your setup file.
where foo and bar are the (source-supported) languages you want to
highlight
Issues


I would like to have a link to the raw source; using will_render() and then copying the file should work.


the common case of foo.c and foo.h breaks
because they both generate page working/dir/foo.
It looks to me like ikiwiki is hardcoded to strip the extension in pagename() (IkiWiki.pm).
This problem with sourcehighlight needs to be fixed before it is very useful.


Is there a way to configure the colors used by source-highlight (other than editing the globally installed "default.style" file)? It would help if I could pass the command arbitrary command-line arguments; then I could configure which config file it's supposed to use. For instance, I'm not a fan of hard-coding the colors into the HTML output. IMHO, css-style formatting should be preferred. All that can be set via the command line ... --Peter


I don't really have time right now, but it should be easy to add, if you look at how src-lang is handled.  Patches are welcome :-) --[[DavidBremner]]

Note that [[Will]] wrote a plugin that uses source-highlight also. It's
available
[here|todo/automatic_use_of_syntax_plugin_on_source_code_files/discussion]].
