NAME
Source-highlight - convert source code to syntax highlighted document SYNOPSIS
source-highlight [OPTIONS]... < input_file > output_file DESCRIPTION
GNU source-highlight 3.1.6 Highlight the syntax of a source file (e.g. Java) into a specific format (e.g. HTML) source-highlight [OPTIONS]... -i input_file -o output_file source-highlight [OPTIONS]... [FILES]... -h, --help Print help and exit --detailed-help Print help, including all details and hidden options, and exit -V, --version Print version and exit -i, --input=filename input file. default std input -o, --output=filename output file. default std output (when the third invocation form is used). If STDOUT is specified, the output is directed to standard output you can simply specify some files at the command line and also use regular expressions (for instance *.java). In this case the name for the output files will be formed using the name of the source file with a .<ext> appended, where <ext> is the extension chosen according to the output format specified (for instance .html). -s, --src-lang=STRING source language (use --lang-list to get the complete list). If not specified, the source language will be guessed from the file extension. --lang-list list all the supported language and associated language definition file --outlang-list list all the supported output language and associated language definition file -f, --out-format=STRING output format (use --outlang-list to get the complete list) (default=`html') -d, --doc create an output file that can be used as a stand alone document (e.g., not to be included in another one) --no-doc cancel the --doc option even if it is implied (e.g., when css is given) -c, --css=filename the external style sheet filename. Implies --doc -T, --title=STRING give a title to the output document. Implies --doc -t, --tab=INT specify tab length. (default=`8') -H, --header=filename file to insert as header -F, --footer=filename file to insert as footer --style-file=filename specify the file containing format options (default=`default.style') --style-css-file=filename specify the file containing format options (in css syntax) --style-defaults=filename specify the file containing defaults for format options (default=`style.defaults') --outlang-def=filename output language definition file --outlang-map=filename output language map file (default=`outlang.map') --data-dir=path directory where language definition files and language maps are searched for. If not specified these files are searched for in the current directory and in the data dir installation directory --output-dir=path output directory --lang-def=filename language definition file --lang-map=filename language map file (default=`lang.map') --show-lang-elements=filename prints the language elements that are defined in the language definition file --infer-lang force to infer source script language (overriding given language specification) Lines: -n, --line-number[=padding] number all output lines, using the specified padding character (default=`0') --line-number-ref[=prefix] number all output lines and generate an anchor, made of the specified prefix + the line number (default=`line') Filtering output: Mode: linerange specifying line ranges --line-range=STRING generate only the lines in the specified range(s) --range-separator=STRING the optional separator to be printed among ranges (e.g., "...") --range-context=INT number of (context) lines generated even if not in range Mode: regexrange specifying regular expression delimited ranges --regex-range=STRING generate only the lines within the specified regular expressions reference generation: --gen-references=STRING generate references (possible values="inline", "postline", "postdoc" default=`inline') --ctags-file=filename specify the file generated by ctags that will be used to generate references (default=`tags') --ctags=cmd how to run the ctags command. If this option is not specified, ctags will be executed with the default value. If it is specified with an empty string, ctags will not be executed at all (default=`ctags --excmd=n --tag-relative=yes') testing: -v, --verbose verbose mode on -q, --quiet print no progress information --binary-output write output files in binary mode --statistics print some statistics (i.e., elapsed time) --gen-version put source-highlight version in the generated file (default=on) --check-lang=filename only check the correctness of a language definition file --check-outlang=filename only check the correctness of an output language definition file --failsafe if no language definition is found for the input, it is simply copied to the output -g, --debug-langdef[=type] debug a language definition. In dump mode just dumps all the steps; in interactive, at each step, waits for some input (press ENTER to step) (possible values="interactive", "dump" default=`dump') --show-regex=filename show the regular expression automaton corresponding to a language definition file Maintained by Lorenzo Bettini <http://www.lorenzobettini.it> REPORTING BUGS
