source-highlight: convert source code to syntax highlighted document

NAME

Source-highlight - convert source code to syntax highlighted document

SYNOPSIS

source-highlight [OPTIONS]... < input_file > output_file

DESCRIPTION

GNU source-highlight 3.1.6

Highlight the syntax of a source file (e.g. Java) into a specific format (e.g. HTML)

source-highlight [OPTIONS]... -i input_file -o output_file source-highlight [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...

-h, --help

Print help and exit

--detailed-help

Print help, including all details and hidden options, and exit

-V, --version

Print version and exit

-i, --input=filename

input file. default std input

-o, --output=filename

output file. default std output (when the third invocation form is used). If STDOUT is specified, the output is directed to standard output

you can simply specify some files at the command line and also use regular expressions (for instance *.java). In this case the name for the output files will be formed using the name of the source file with a .<ext> appended, where <ext> is the extension chosen according to the output format specified (for instance .html).

-s, --src-lang=STRING

source language (use --lang-list to get the complete list). If not specified, the source language will be guessed from the file extension.

--lang-list

list all the supported language and associated language definition file

--outlang-list

list all the supported output language and associated language definition file

-f, --out-format=STRING

output format (use --outlang-list to get the complete list) (default=`html')

-d, --doc

create an output file that can be used as a stand alone document (e.g., not to be included in another one)

--no-doc

cancel the --doc option even if it is implied (e.g., when css is given)

-c, --css=filename

the external style sheet filename. Implies --doc

-T, --title=STRING

give a title to the output document. Implies --doc

-t, --tab=INT

specify tab length. (default=`8')

-H, --header=filename

file to insert as header

-F, --footer=filename

file to insert as footer

--style-file=filename

specify the file containing format options (default=`default.style')

--style-css-file=filename specify the file containing format options (in

css syntax)

--style-defaults=filename specify the file containing defaults for format

options (default=`style.defaults')

--outlang-def=filename

output language definition file

--outlang-map=filename

output language map file (default=`outlang.map')

--data-dir=path

directory where language definition files and language maps are searched for. If not specified these files are searched for in the current directory and in the data dir installation directory

--output-dir=path

output directory

--lang-def=filename

language definition file

--lang-map=filename

language map file (default=`lang.map')

--show-lang-elements=filename

prints the language elements that are defined

in the language definition file

--infer-lang

force to infer source script language (overriding given language specification)

Lines:

-n, --line-number[=padding]

number all output lines, using the specified padding character (default=`0')

--line-number-ref[=prefix]

number all output lines and generate an anchor,

made of the specified prefix + the line number (default=`line')

Filtering output:

Mode: linerange

specifying line ranges

--line-range=STRING

generate only the lines in the specified range(s)

--range-separator=STRING

the optional separator to be printed among ranges (e.g., "...")

--range-context=INT

number of (context) lines generated even if not in range

Mode: regexrange

specifying regular expression delimited ranges

--regex-range=STRING

generate only the lines within the specified regular expressions

reference generation:

--gen-references=STRING

generate references (possible values="inline", "postline", "postdoc" default=`inline')

--ctags-file=filename

specify the file generated by ctags that will be used to generate references (default=`tags')

--ctags=cmd

how to run the ctags command. If this option is not specified, ctags will be executed with the default value. If it is specified with an empty string, ctags will not be executed at all (default=`ctags --excmd=n --tag-relative=yes')

testing:

-v, --verbose

verbose mode on

-q, --quiet

print no progress information

--binary-output

write output files in binary mode

--statistics

print some statistics (i.e., elapsed time)

--gen-version

put source-highlight version in the generated file (default=on)

--check-lang=filename

only check the correctness of a language definition file

--check-outlang=filename

only check the correctness of an output language definition file

--failsafe

if no language definition is found for the input, it is simply copied to the output

-g, --debug-langdef[=type]

debug a language definition. In dump mode just dumps all the steps; in interactive, at each step, waits for some input (press ENTER to step) (possible values="interactive", "dump" default=`dump')

--show-regex=filename

show the regular expression automaton corresponding to a language definition file
