yamtl-pygments-lexer 1.0

Pygments lexer for YAMTL variants.

YAMTL Plugin for Pygments

Pygments lexer support for YAMTL variants (ready to use with MkDocs Material)

Installation

If you want to install it from PyPI:

pip install yamtl-pygments-lexer

OR

If you want to run the latest package via GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/iNafey/yamtl-pygments-lexer.git
cd yamtl-pygments-lexer
sudo python setup.py install

Please note: the site-packages/easy-install.pth file (generated by the above command) needs to not include a relative path but a full path to the egg file. You could also replace the last line for (sudo python setup.py develop) if you will make changes to the code.

Usage

To use any of the YAMTL lexers, you need to have Pygments installed (so you can use the pygmentize command). Then, you can perform syntax highlighting using the following command:

 pygmentize -l <LexerAlias> -x <RelativePathToFile>

Where LexerAlias is the alias of the lexer you want to use (e.g. yamtl-groovy for Groovy-variant of YAMTL) and RelativePathToFile is the relative path to the file you want to highlight.

For example, if you want to highlight the file test.groovy using the EGL lexer, you would use:

 pygmentize -l yamtl-groovy -x test_scripts/test.groovy

MkDocs Material Support

If you want to use the lexers with MkDocs Material, simply call the LexerAlias in the code blocks of your Markdown files. For example, if you want to highlight a Groovy code block using the Yamtl-Groovy lexer, you would use:

    ``` yamtl-groovy
        //MT definition containing rules
    ```

Color Customization

You can select from various pygments styles already available for highlighting within the terminal:

 pygmentize -O <StyleName>  -l <LexerAlias> -x <RelativePathToFile>

Where StyleName is the name of the style you want to use (e.g. monokai). The default style is default.

To change the style for MkDocs Material, you will need to find the token types of the keywords you want to highlight (Inspect Element via your browser). Then, follow the instructions here to add the custom style to your documentation site.
