Text-VimColour-0.5.0/

p6-Text-VimColour

Converts language source code into colour syntax HTML using vim.

Idea was shamelessly stolen from the original Perl 5 Text::VimColor

Pull requests welcome.

To install this module, you'll need vim version at least 7.4.

An optional step for the best syntax colouring results is to also install updated Perl 6 vim syntax files

use Text::VimColour;
Text::VimColour.new(
    lang => "perl6",
    in   => "file-to-highlight.p6",
    out  => '/tmp/out.html'
);

Text::VimColour.new(
    lang    => 'perl6',
    in      => 'file-to-highlight.p6'
    code    => 'say $foo;',
    out     => '/tmp/out.html',
);

say Text::VimColour.new( lang => 'perl6', in => 'file-to-highlight.p6')
    .html;

Same as html-full-page, but returns only the highlighted code HTML.

say Text::VimColour.new( lang => 'perl6', in => 'file-to-highlight.p6')
    .css;

Same as html-full-page, but returns only the styling CSS code.
