jekyllI needed to create a custom syntax highlighting for requs.org on which I’m using Jekyll for site rendering.
This is how my code blocks look in markdown pages:
{ % highlight requs %}
User is a "human being."
{ % endhighlight %}
I created a custom Pygments lexer:
from pygments.lexer import RegexLexer
from pygments.token import Punctuation, Text, Keyword, Name, String
from pygments.util import shebang_matches
class RequsLexer(RegexLexer):
name = 'requs'
aliases = ['requs']
tokens = {
'root': [
(r'"[^"]+"', String),
(r'""".+"""', Text),
(r'\b(needs|includes|requires|when|fail|is|a|the)\s*\b', Keyword),
(r'([A-Z][a-z]+)+', Name),
(r'[,;:]', Punctuation),
],
}
def analyse_text(text):
return shebang_matches(text, r'requs')
Then, I packaged it for easy_install and installed locally:
$ easy_install src/requs_pygment
Processing requs_pygment
Running setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir ...
zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...
Adding requs-pygment 0.1 to easy-install.pth file
Installed /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requs_pygment-0.1-py2.7.egg
Processing dependencies for requs-pygment==0.1
Finished processing dependencies for requs-pygment==0.1
It’s done. Now I run jekyll build and my syntax is highlighted according to the custom rules I specified in the lexer.
