Would you agree that Ruby shouldn't lack for a syntax highlighting library as good as any that exists for other dynamic languages? I do. But as it stands Ruby lags well behind Python's Pygments (http://pygments.org/). This should not stand!
Ruby has a pretty good library in CodeRay (http://coderay.rubychan.de/) but to catch up it needs to support many more formats. So I want to encourage all Ruby developers to carve out a bit of time to create a CodeRay scanner script for an as-of-yet unsupported format. Have a look at http://odd-eyed-code.org/versions/show/15 for some suggestions and have a look at https://github.com/rubychan/coderay/tree/master/lib/coderay/scanners for reference on how it's done. (NOTE: I have no direct affiliation with the CodeRay project. I just want to see Ruby have a top-notch syntax highlighting library.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ruby-talk-google group.
