Re: Syntax highlighting of odd language

Aaron, why don't you use a very simle sintax like this one: $code = 'function what() { do oddname; %oddsyntax }'; function highlight_code($code) { $oddsyntax = array('oddsyntax','oddsyntax2','oddsyntax3'); for($i = 0; $i <= count($oddsyntax)-1; $i++) { $highlighted_code = eregi_replace($oddsyntax[$i],'<spam class="highlighted">'.$oddsyntax[$i].'</spam>',$code); } return $code; } echo highlight_code($code); Regards, Bruno B B Magalhães On Nov 5, 2004, at 6:39 PM, Aaron Gould wrote:

Could any of you privide some leads in regard to highlighting syntax of an odd language? I have a large amount of snippits of legacy code from our company's primary application. The code used is "BBx" (a variant of Basic). I'm attempting to show this code on a web page, but with highlighting of keywords and variables/numbers. I've already got a list of the language's 250-odd keywords in a file. I saw a "Text_Highlighter" PEAR class, but that seems to only do a bunch of predefined popular languages (ie. SQL, PHP, C). Please don't ruin my Friday afternoon and tell me I'll need to dig into regular expressions..... :) -- Aaron Gould Parts Canada - Web Developer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
