GNU GNU source-highlight 3.1.8
Highlight the syntax of a source file (e.g. Java) into a specific format (e.g.
HTML)
Usage: source-highlight [OPTIONS]... < input_file > output_file
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
