BeautifierPlugin

This plugin allows you to have code fragments automatically formatted and highlighted. It uses the Beautifier library (included) written by Mike Jewell.

Syntax Rules

• Insert the code between %CODE{"language"}% and %ENDCODE%. The following table indicates the values used for the different languages:

Language	Syntax
bash	%CODE{"bash"}% ... %ENDCODE%
C++	%CODE{"cpp"}% ... %ENDCODE%
C#	%CODE{"csharp"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Java	%CODE{"java"}% ... %ENDCODE%
JavaScript	%CODE{"javascript"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Lua	%CODE{"lua"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Makefile	%CODE{"makefile"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Perl	%CODE{"perl"}% ... %ENDCODE%
PL/SQL	%CODE{"plsql"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Python	%CODE{"python"}% ... %ENDCODE%
PHP3	%CODE{"php3"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Scheme	%CODE{"scheme"}% ... %ENDCODE%
TCL	%CODE{"tcl"}% ... %ENDCODE%
HTML	%CODE{"html"} ... %ENDCODE%
XML	%CODE{"xml"}% ... %ENDCODE%
Verilog	%CODE{"verilog"}% ... %ENDCODE%
VHDL	%CODE{"vhdl"}% ... %ENDCODE%

Additional languages can be added since the Beautifier library is flexible and can support a wide range of language families. Other languages can be added with relative ease by downloading the full PHP dist from http://www.beautifier.org and converting the relevant language file from PHP to Perl.

Display Customisation

The code fragments are formaated using CSS. To change the look, upload a new version of style.css to this topic.

Examples

%CODE{"cpp"}%
   void foo() {
     print("Do stuff.\n");
   }
%ENDCODE%
