+[[!tag type/format]]
+
+This plugin allows ikiwiki to syntax highlight source files, using
+a fast syntax highlighter that supports over a hundred programming
+languages and file formats.
+
+## prerequisites
+
+You will need to install the perl bindings to the
+[highlight library](http://www.andre-simon.de/), which in Debian
+are in the [[!debpkg libhighlight-perl]] package.
+
+## configuration
+
+Nothing will be highlighted by default.
+To enable syntax highlighting, use the `tohighlight` setting in your
+setup file to control which files should be syntax highlighted.
+Here is a typical setting for it, enabling highlighting for files
+with the extensions .c, etc, and also for any files named "Makefile".
+
+ tohighlight => .c, .h, .cpp, .pl, .py, Makefile:make",
+
+It knows what language to use for most filename extensions (see
+`/etc/highlight/filetypes.conf` for a partial list), but if you want to
+bind an unusual filename extension, or any file without an extension
+(such as a Makefile), to a language, you can do so by appending a colon
+and the name of the language, as illustrated for Makefiles above.
+
+## embedding highlighted code
+
+To embed highlighted code on a page, you can use the
+[[ikiwiki/directive/format]] directive.
+
+For example:
+
+ \[[!format c """
+ void main () {
+ printf("hello, world!");
+ }
+ """]]
+
+You can do this for any of the extensions/filenames enabled in
+`tohighlight`.
+
+## colors
+
+The colors etc used for the syntax highlighting are entirely configurable
+by CSS. See ikiwiki's [[style.css]] for the defaults.
+
+## limitations
+
+With this plugin enabled, source files become full-fledged ikiwiki pages,
+which means they can include [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]] and
+[[directives|ikiwiki/directive]] like any other page can, and are also
+affected by the [[smiley]] plugin, if it is enabled. This can be
+annoying if your code accidentially contains things that look like those.
+
+On the other hand, this also allows your syntax highlighed
+source code to contain markdown formatted comments and hyperlinks
+to other code files, like this:
+
+ /* \[[!format mdwn """
+ This comment will be formatted as *markdown*!
+
+ See [[bar.h]].
+ ""]] */
+
+## security
+
+This lets anyone who can edit a page in your wiki also edit
+source code files that are in your wiki. Use appropriate caution.

* I have started something along these lines see [[plugins/contrib/sourcehighlight]]. For some reason I started with source-highlight [[DavidBremner]]

also uses source-highlight, and operates on whole source files.
Updated to work with the fix for [[bugs/multiple_pages_with_same_name]]. Untested with files with no extension, e.g. `Makefile`.
* [[users/jasonblevins]]'s code plugin uses source-highlight, and supports both

+ whole file and directive use.
* [hlsimple](http://pivot.cs.unb.ca/git/?p=ikiplugins.git;a=blob_plain;f=IkiWiki/Plugin/hlsimple.pm;hb=HEAD) is a wrapper for the the perl module [[!cpan Syntax::Highlight::Engine::Simple]]. This is pure perl, pretty simple, uses css. It ought to be pretty fast (according to the author, and just because it is not external).
On the other hand, there are not many predefined languages yet. Defining language syntaxes is about as much
work as source-highlight, but in perl. I plan to package the base module for debian. Perhaps after the author
releases the 5 or 6 language definitions he has running on his web site, it might be suitable for inclusion in ikiwiki. [[DavidBremner]]
+* [[plugins/highlight]] uses [highlight](http://www.andre-simon.de) via
+ its swig bindings. It supports whole files only. It uses either
+ keepextension or noextension, as appropriate for the type of file.
+
## General problems / requirements
* Using non-perl syntax highlighting backends is slower. All things equal,
> it has a pass-through feature that I find very useful. My memory is unfortunately a bit fuzzy as to how
> well the swig bindings work. [[DavidBremner]]
-
* Engines that already support a wide variety of file types are of
course preferred. If the engine doesn't support a particular type
of file, it could fall back to doing something simple like
Perhaps the thing to do here is to use the new `longname` parameter to
the format hook, to give them all names that will group together at or
- near the end of the list. Ie: "Syntax: perl", "Syntax: C", etc.
-
-## format directive and comments
-
-Hmm, the [[ikiwiki/directive/format]] directive would also allow comments
-inside source files to have mdwn embedded in them, without making the use
-of mdwn a special case, or needing to postprocess the syntax highlighter
-output to find comments.
-
- /* \[[!format mdwn """
-
- This is a comment in my C file. You can use mdwn in here.
+ near the end of the list. Ie: "Syntax: perl", "Source code: c", etc.

-Note that this assumes that directives are expanded in source files,
-which has its own set of problems.
+I'm calling this [[done]] since I added the [[plugins/highlight]]
+plugin. There are some unresolved issues touched on here,
+but they either have the own other bug reports, or are documented
+as semi-features in the docs to the plugin. --[[Joey]]
