NAME
Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Simple - Simple Syntax Highlight Engine VERSION
This document describes Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Simple SYNOPSIS
use Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Simple; # Constractor $highlight = Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Simple->new(%hash); # Parameter configuration $highlight->setParams(%hash); # Syntax definision and addition $highlight->setSyntax(%hash); $highlight->appendSyntax(%hash); # Perse $highlight->doFile(%hash); $highlight->doStr(%hash); # Utilities $highlight->array2regexp(%hash); $highlight->getClassNames(%hash); DESCRIPTION
This is a Syntax highlight Engine. This generates a part of HTML string by marking up the input string with span tags along the given rules so that you can easily coloring with CSS. Advantage is the simpleness. This provides a simple way to define the highlighting rules by packing the complicated part of it into regular expression. Also, This works faster than similar highlight solutions on rough benchmarks. Here is a working example of This module. http://jamadam.com/dev/cpan/demo/Syntax/Highlight/Engine/Simple/ INTERFACE
new new constractor calls for following arguments. type File type. This argument causes specific sub class to be loaded. syntax With this argument, you can assign rules in constractor. setParams This method calls for following arguments. html_escape_code_ref HTML escape code ref. Default subroutine escapes 3 characters '&', '<' and '>'. setSyntax Set the rules for highlight. It calls for a argument syntax in array. $highlighter->setSyntax( syntax => [ { class => 'tag', regexp => "<.+?>", }, { class => 'quote', regexp => "'.*?'", container => 'tag', }, { class => 'wquote', regexp => '".*?"', container => 'tag', }, { class => 'keyword', regexp => 'somekeyword', container => ['tag', 'quote', 'wquote'], }, ] ); The array can contain rules in hash which is consists of 3 keys, class, regexp and container. class This appears to the output SPAN tag. regexp Regular expression to be highlighted. container Class names of allowed container. It can be given in String or Array. This restricts the regexp to stand only inside of the classes. This parameter also works to ease the regulation some time. The highlighting rules doesn't stand in any container in default. This parameter eliminates it. appendSyntax Append syntax by giving a hash. $highlighter->setSyntax( syntax => { class => 'quote', regexp => "'.*?'", container => 'tag', } ); doStr Highlighting input string and returns the marked up string. This method calls for following arguments. str String. tab_width Tab width for tab-space conversion. -1 for disable it. -1 is the default. $highlighter->doStr( str => $str, tab_width => 4 ); doFile Highlighting the file and returns the marked up string. This method calls for following arguments. file File name. tab_width Tab width for tab-space conversion. -1 for disable it. -1 is the default. encode Set the encode of file. utf8 is the default. $highlighter->doStr( str => $str, tab_width => 4, encode => 'utf8' ); array2regexp This is a utility method for converting string array to regular expression. getClassNames Returns the class names in array.
