Cfengine3 lexer for Pygments
I have written a Cfengine3 lexer for Pygments, the open source syntax-highlighter used by Gist and many other sites. It seems to work fine on all the cfengine policy files I have tested, but if you find anything that doesn't quite work as expected, please let me know. This is my first-ever Pygments lexer, so if you are an expert and can advise me on better ways of doing things, I'd very much appreciate the feedback too.
Here's how to install it (again, I don't know if this is the better or easier way):- Obtain the Pygments source code.
- Put the pygments_cfengine_lexer.py file into the pygments/lexers/ directory
- run (cd pygments/lexers; python _mapping.py)
- run ./setup.py install
If you already have Pygments installed, you should follow these instructions:
- Put the pygments_cfengine_lexer.py file in the installed pygments/lexers/ directory (on my Mac, this is /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/Pygments-1.4-py2.6.egg/pygments/lexers, under Linux it should be something like /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Pygments..../pygments/lexers)
- cd into that directory
- run "python _mapping.py"
Then run pygmentize on any .cf file, and it should output properly highlighted code. You can view a sample here.
