# = CodeRay Library # # CodeRay is a Ruby library for syntax highlighting. # # I try to make CodeRay easy to use and intuitive, but at the same time fully featured, complete, # fast and efficient. # # See README. # # It consists mainly of # * the main engine: CodeRay (Scanners::Scanner, Tokens/TokenStream, Encoders::Encoder), PluginHost # * the scanners in CodeRay::Scanners # * the encoders in CodeRay::Encoders # # Here's a fancy graphic to light up this gray docu: # # http://cycnus.de/raindark/coderay/scheme.png # # == Documentation # # See CodeRay, Encoders, Scanners, Tokens. # # == Usage # # Remember you need RubyGems to use CodeRay, unless you have it in your load path. Run Ruby with # -rubygems option if required. # # === Highlight Ruby code in a string as html # # require 'coderay' # print CodeRay.scan('puts "Hello, world!"', :ruby).html # # # prints something like this: # puts "Hello, world!" # # # === Highlight C code from a file in a html div # # require 'coderay' # print CodeRay.scan(File.read('ruby.h'), :c).div # print CodeRay.scan_file('ruby.h').html.div # # You can include this div in your page. The used CSS styles can be printed with # # % coderay_stylesheet # # === Highlight without typing too much # # If you are one of the hasty (or lazy, or extremely curious) people, just run this file: # # % ruby -rubygems /path/to/coderay/coderay.rb > example.html # # and look at the file it created in your browser. # # = CodeRay Module # # The CodeRay module provides convenience methods for the engine. # # * The +lang+ and +format+ arguments select Scanner and Encoder to use. These are # simply lower-case symbols, like :python or :html. # * All methods take an optional hash as last parameter, +options+, that is send to # the Encoder / Scanner. # * Input and language are always sorted in this order: +code+, +lang+. # (This is in alphabetical order, if you need a mnemonic ;) # # You should be able to highlight everything you want just using these methods; # so there is no need to dive into CodeRay's deep class hierarchy. # # The examples in the demo directory demonstrate common cases using this interface. # # = Basic Access Ways # # Read this to get a general view what CodeRay provides. # # == Scanning # # Scanning means analysing an input string, splitting it up into Tokens. # Each Token knows about what type it is: string, comment, class name, etc. # # Each +lang+ (language) has its own Scanner; for example, :ruby code is # handled by CodeRay::Scanners::Ruby. # # CodeRay.scan:: Scan a string in a given language into Tokens. # This is the most common method to use. # CodeRay.scan_file:: Scan a file and guess the language using FileType. # # The Tokens object you get from these methods can encode itself; see Tokens. # # == Encoding # # Encoding means compiling Tokens into an output. This can be colored HTML or # LaTeX, a textual statistic or just the number of non-whitespace tokens. # # Each Encoder provides output in a specific +format+, so you select Encoders via # formats like :html or :statistic. # # CodeRay.encode:: Scan and encode a string in a given language. # CodeRay.encode_tokens:: Encode the given tokens. # CodeRay.encode_file:: Scan a file, guess the language using FileType and encode it. # # == Streaming # # Streaming saves RAM by running Scanner and Encoder in some sort of # pipe mode; see TokenStream. # # CodeRay.scan_stream:: Scan in stream mode. # # == All-in-One Encoding # # CodeRay.encode:: Highlight a string with a given input and output format. # # == Instanciating # # You can use an Encoder instance to highlight multiple inputs. This way, the setup # for this Encoder must only be done once. # # CodeRay.encoder:: Create an Encoder instance with format and options. # CodeRay.scanner:: Create an Scanner instance for lang, with '' as default code. # # To make use of CodeRay.scanner, use CodeRay::Scanner::code=. # # The scanning methods provide more flexibility; we recommend to use these. # # == Reusing Scanners and Encoders # # If you want to re-use scanners and encoders (because that is faster), see # CodeRay::Duo for the most convenient (and recommended) interface. module CodeRay $CODERAY_DEBUG ||= false # Version: Major.Minor.Teeny[.Revision] # Major: 0 for pre-stable, 1 for stable # Minor: feature milestone # Teeny: development state, 0 for pre-release # Revision: Subversion Revision number (generated on rake gem:make) VERSION = '0.9.7' require 'coderay/tokens' require 'coderay/token_classes' require 'coderay/scanner' require 'coderay/encoder' require 'coderay/duo' require 'coderay/style' class << self # Scans the given +code+ (a String) with the Scanner for +lang+. # # This is a simple way to use CodeRay.
