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 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
