Hi,
I have defined a simple outlang that produces S-expressions (see below).
However, I would like to produce shorter versions of the style identifiers,
so that "keyword" becomes "kwd", "symbol" becomes "sym", etc. Is there any way
for the $style variable itself to be transformed via a translation map? Or an
altogether different way of achieving this within the source-highlight library?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Dario Teixeira

Hi Dario
actually I never felt the need for such feature. I see two possible
solutions to this:
- change the .lang files using kwd instead of keyword, but this would
make your lang files unconsistent with future versions of the one
distributed with source-highlight
- if you use source-highlight as a library in your own program/library,
you could provide a specialized preprocessor to attach to the output
produce, but this would require some knowledge of the library which you
may want to avoid.
As a final solution, you could write some perl/shell script that
automatically translate the .lang files into new version.
Note that, in any case, if a translation map for style names was
provided you should still provide a map for every single element...
I'll try also to see how hard/easy would be to add such feature.... but
I see your context as very ad-hoc, isn't it?
hope to hear from you soon
cheers
Lorenzo
