Pygments-Xojo

Pygments-Xojo implements Xojo language markup for Pygments, the Python syntax highlighter.

Like Pygments, Pygments-Xojo requires Python >= 2.6 or >= 3.3.

To try it out, clone this repository to your computer. If you don't have a supported version of Python installed, you can download an installer or build from source, depending on your platform and preferences. If you are working on a Mac, you'll save a lot of annoyance by installing a version of Python for your own work instead of using the system install.

You will need pip, a Python package manager. This is included with Python 3.4; if you want to use an earlier version, you'll need to install it yourself.

curl -o get-pip.py https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python get-pip.py   

And if you are using Python 2, you will also need to install virtualenv.

sudo pip install virtualenv

Once your Python world is configured, run make venv. This will create virtual environments for all supported Python versions installed on your machine. These are installed mostly for testing. You can activate the one for your preferred Python version. You can delete the other .venv directories to reduce perceived clutter, or run make clean to get rid of all of them.

To activate a virtual environment, open a Terminal window and cd to the repository directory.
Then execute the following command (assuming you want to use Python 3.4).

source python3.4.env/bin/activate

You can now format some Xojo code in a file /path/to/foo as follows.

pygmentize -O full,style=xojo,linenos=1 -f html -l xojo /path/to/foo

which writes output to stdout, or

pygmentize -O full,style=xojo,linenos=1 -f html -l xojo -o /path/to/foo.html /path/to/foo 

which writes the output to a file that you can view in the browser of your choice.
