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.

The params file and text are mutually exclusive.

Example:

   \[[syntax type="perl" text="""  
   #!/usr/bin/perl

   my $a = "World";
   print "Hello, ${a}\n";
   """]]

or

   \[[syntax file="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 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
