I need groovy highlighting in pandoc.
Quick explanation: Pandoc use Kate’s syntax description files to make is own syntax highlighter. This is perform in sub-project highlighting-kate. For the moment, pandoc supports 96 languages but kate supports 231 languages.
You can follow this short howto to append new languages highlighting in pandoc.
highlighting-kate
subprojectFirst we need to install Haskell
and cabal
.
sudo apt-get instal haskell-platform
sudo apt-get instal cabal-build
Then we can download highlighting-kate
subproject and try to compile it.
git clone https://github.com/jgm/highlighting-kate.git
cd highlighting-kate
cabal update
make
cabal install
Highlight
is now install in ~/.cabal/bin/
~/.cabal/bin/Highlight -s haskell Text/Highlighting/Kate.hs > example.html
Second step we will add a new language. What I need is Groovy Highlighting, not currently available in kate :-(, but I found a definition on groovy plugins page:
wget https://docs.codehaus.org/download/attachments/2747/groovy.xml
mv groovy.xml xml/
make
cabal install
~/.cabal/bin/Highlight -s groovy sample.groovy > example.html
Very easy isn’t it ?
Third step, compile pandoc with our new definition. Thanks to cabal
our updated Highlight
is on local repository. So we simply need to run cabal install
git clone --recursive https://github.com/jgm/pandoc.git
cd pandoc
cabal install
~/.cabal/bin/pandoc --version
This takes some time but works like a charm.
Finally append ~/.cabal/bin/
to your PATH
.
