NAME

App::ZofCMS::Plugin::Syntax::Highlight::CSS - provide syntax highlighted CSS code snippets on your site

SYNOPSIS

In ZofCMS template:


            

              
              
{
    body        => \'index.tmpl',
    highlight_css => {
        foocss => '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }',
        bar     => sub { return '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }' },
        beer    => \ 'filename.of.the.file.with.CSS.in.datastore.dir',
    },
    plugins     => [ qw/Syntax::Highlight::CSS/ ],
}

In HTML::Template template:


            

              
              
<tmpl_var name="foocss">
<tmpl_var name="bar">
<tmpl_var name="beer">

DESCRIPTION

The module is a plugin for App::ZofCMS. It provides means to include CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) code snippets with syntax highlights on your pages.

This documentation assumes you've read App::ZofCMS, App::ZofCMS::Config and App::ZofCMS::Template

USED FIRST-LEVEL ZofCMS TEMPLATE KEYS

plugins


            

              
              
{
    plugins => [ qw/Syntax::Highlight::CSS/ ],
}

First and obvious is that you'd want to include the plugin in the list of plugins to run.

highlight_css


            

              
              
{
    highlight_css => {
        foocss  => '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }',
        bar     => sub { return '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }' },
        beer    => \ 'filename.of.the.file.with.CSS.in.datastore.dir',
    },
}

The highlight_css is the heart key of the plugin. It takes a hashref as a value. The keys of this hashref except for two special keys described below are the name of <tmpl_var name=""> tags in your HTML::Template template into which to stuff the syntax-highlighted code. The value of those keys can be either a scalar, subref or a scalarref. They are interpreted by the plugin as follows:

scalar


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    foocss => '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }'
}

When the value of the key is a scalar it will be interpreted as CSS code to be highlighted. This will do it for short snippets.

scalarref


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    beer    => \ 'filename.of.the.file.with.CSS.in.datastore.dir',
},

When the value is a scalarref it will be interpreted as the name of a file in the data_store dir. That file will be read and its contents will be understood as CSS code to be highlighted. If an error occured during opening of the file, your <tmpl_var name=""> tag allocated for this entry will be populated with an error message.

subref


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    bar     => sub { return '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }' },
},

When the value is a subref, it will be executed and its return value will be taken as CSS code to highlight. The @_ of that sub when called will contain the following: $template, $query, $config where $template is a hashref of your ZofCMS template, $query is a hashref of the parameter query whether it's a POST or a GET request, and $config is the App::ZofCMS::Config object.

SPECIAL KEYS IN highlight_css


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    nnn => 1,
    pre => 0,
},

There are two special keys, namely nnn and pre, in highlight_css hashref. Their values will affect the resulting highlighted CSS code.

nnn


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    nnn => 1,
}

Instructs the highlighter to activate line numbering. Default value: 0 (disabled).

pre


            

              
              
highlight_css => {
    nnn => 0,
}

Instructs the highlighter to surround result by <pre>...</pre> tags. Default value: 1 (enabled).

highlight_css_before


            

              
              
{
    highlight_css_before => '<div class="my-highlights">',
}

Takes a scalar as a value. When specified, every highlighted CSS code will be prefixed with whatever you specify here.

highlight_css_after


            

              
              
{
    highlight_after => '</div>',
}

Takes a scalar as a value. When specified, every highlighted CSS code will be postfixed with whatever you specify here.

GENERATED CODE

Given '* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }' as input plugin will generate the following code (line-breaks were edited):


            

              
              
<pre class="css-code">
    <span class="ch-sel">*</span> {
    <span class="ch-p">margin</span>:
    <span class="ch-v">0</span>;
    <span class="ch-p">padding</span>:
    <span class="ch-v">0</span>; }
</pre>

Now you'd use CSS to highlight specific parts of CSS syntax. Here are the classes that you can define in your stylesheet:

  • css-code - this is actually the class name that will be set on the <pre>> element if you have that option turned on.

  • ch-sel - Selectors

  • ch-com - Comments

  • ch-p - Properties

  • ch-v - Values

  • ch-ps - Pseudo-selectors and pseudo-elements

  • ch-at - At-rules

  • ch-n - The line numbers inserted when nnn key is set to a true value

SAMPLE CSS CODE FOR HIGHLIGHTING


            

              
              
.css-code {
    font-family: 'DejaVu Sans Mono Book', monospace;
    color: #000;
    background: #fff;
}
    .ch-sel, .ch-p, .ch-v, .ch-ps, .ch-at {
        font-weight: bold;
    }
    .ch-sel { color: #007; } /* Selectors */
    .ch-com {                /* Comments */
        font-style: italic;
        color: #777;
    }
    .ch-p {                  /* Properties */
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #000;
    }
    .ch-v {                  /* Values */
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #880;
    }
    .ch-ps {                /* Pseudo-selectors and Pseudo-elements */
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #11F;
    }
    .ch-at {                /* At-rules */
        font-weight: bold;
        color: #955;
    }
    .ch-n {
        color: #888;
    }
