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..... :)
regexps are a minimum... What I'd suggest it so find a correctly working
parser, which basically feeds your script with the info about what it
encounters where. Eg using m4. (gnu.org/software/m4) But that's just my
point of view :)
