Changes
Revision history for skylighting and skylighting-core
0.8.5
-
Respect dynamic flag on StringDetect elements (#99, Albert Krewinkel).
-
Increase test timeout to avoid failures with qemu-emulated environments, such as qemu and riscv64 in Ubuntu builders (William Grant).
-
Fix attribute for opening double quote in sql-postgresql.xml (Benjamin Wuethrich).
-
Update syntax descriptions for javascript, bash, coffee, javascript-react, javascript, latex, sql-postgresql, typescript.
0.8.4
- HTML output: use aria-hidden=“true” on empty a elements unless numberLines is specified (in which case the element is still empty but will have content added by CSS). This is to avoid excess noise when the code blocks are read by screen readers. See jgm/pandoc#6352.
0.8.3.4
-
Update syntax descriptions for: cmake agda c coffee doxygenlua html isocpp latex lua makefile markdown metafont mustache nasm python rust sql-postgresql typescript vhdl xml yacc yaml.
-
Fix invalid CSS: in some cases, the library produced
code span.
with no class for the NormalTok style (Michał Miszczyszyn). Now it produces a rule forcode span
.
0.8.3.3
- Agda keywords updated to 2.6.0 (Andreas Abel).
0.8.3.2 – 2020-01-21
- This fixes a packaging error in 0.8.3.1, which didn’t include the results of the bootsrap step and hence didn’t update the syntax modules.
0.8.3.1 – 2020-01-21
-
Escape
<
and>
in latex to avoid ligatures (#91). -
Fix and extend Idris keywords (Denis Buzdalov).
-
Update XML syntax definitions for javascript-react, qml, typescript, javascript, cmake, cofee, latex, perl, python, rest.
-
Fixed bug with context shifts using
##
syntax for foreign context. Previously we only handled these in IncludeRules, but starting with the current batches of xml files they can occur elsewhere too.
0.8.3 – 2019-11-26
-
Update XML syntax definitions for c, cmake, coffee, cpp, css, diff, djangotemplate, elixir, elm, glsl, haskell, html, isocpp, javascript-react, javascript, json, jsp, julia, latex, lua, markdown, matlab, mediawiki, modelines, mustache, perl, php, powershell, qml, rest, rust, typescript, vhdl.
-
Fix highlighting errors with non-ASCII characters in JSON (#90). This error was due to an optimization that made some incorrect assumptions.
0.8.2.3 – 2019-10-03
-
Tests: ensure we read test files as UTF-8.
-
Fix compiler warnings around Monoid imports.
-
Add MonadFail constraint (allowing compilation with ghc 8.8.x).
-
Add cabal.project and move CI from Travis to GitHub Actions.
0.8.2.2 – 2019-09-30
-
Remove upper bound on regex-base and require regex-pcre-builtin >= 0.95, to avoid a build conflict with earlier versions of regex-pcre-builtin and regex-base >= 0.94.
-
Remove unused system-pcre flag in skylighting.cabal. This flag only affects skylighting-core.
0.8.2.1 – 2019-09-25
-
Add upper bound for regex-base if regex-pcre-builtin is used. Currently regex-pcre-builtin won’t build on ghc 8.4+ with regex-base 0.94.0.0. When regex-pcre-builtin is updated, we can remove this.
-
Correct cabal wildcard to include .xml.patch files in distribution.
-
Update breezedark style (Kien Dang).
-
Update markdown.xml so first list marker is included in list (#84).
-
skylighting.cabal - removed some build dependencies which are not necessary (they’re dependencies of skylighting-core).
0.8.2 – 2019-07-14
- Change matchRegex so it gives “no match” on a regex error instead of raising an exception. This seems to be how Kate works. Fixes an error on long integer literals (#81).
0.8.1.2 – 2019-07-14
- Fix HlCChar for one-character octal escapes like ‘\0’ (#82). Due to a bug in pCStringChar, only multi-character octal escapes were being recognized. This affects not just C highlighting, but all of the following highlighters which use HlCChar: fasm eiffel pike objectivec ruby vhdl scala java jsp nasm protobuf pure go objectivecpp gnuassembler povray actionscript c cs opencl boo rhtml elixir. This fixes a regression introduced in version 0.3.1.
- Ensure line span css only applied to lines (David Baynard).
0.8.1.1 – 2019-06-13
- Improved LaTeX escaping (#78).
0.8.1 – 2019-06-04
- Added support for stata (#74).
- Added support for javascript-react, i.e. jsx (#56).
- Added support for qml and mustache (new dependencies for markdown and html).
- Update xml syntax definitions from KDE repository: cmake, doxygen, html, ini, javascript, julia, literate-haskell, markdown, octave, perl, tcsh, typescript, yaml.
- Fix bug in detectIdentifier (#76). It behaved wrongly when applied to a string that was an valid identifier but had nothing else after it (as would naturally occur with inline code in pandoc). The bug caused it to match just one character in this case.
- Add –number-lines-from option to cli program (David Baynard).
- Override start number if nonzero (David Baynard, fixes regression in 0.8).
0.8 – 2019-05-27
- Wrap html source lines with
<span>
, not<a>
(David Baynard). Fixes jgm/pandoc#4386. Also fixes #33 (and therefore fixes jgm/pandoc#4278). - Prevent line-wrap overlap in html by increasing padding (David Baynard).
- Remove superfluous ‘pointer-events: all’ (David Baynard).
- Simplify HTML generation code (David Baynard).
- Remove sourceLine class from spans (David Baynard).
- Display line numbers using css counters (David Baynard).
- Add Elm syntax definition (#66, #68, Bonghyun Kim).
- Put changelog in base directory, use symlinks to point to it. We have the same changelog for skylighting and skylighting-core, for simplicity. (Version numbers are kept in sync.)
0.7.7 – 2019-02-27
- Add parseSyntaxDefinitionFromString [API change].
- Fix parseSyntaxDefinition so that language.dtd no longer needed. We strip out the SYSTEM “language.dtd” part of the doctype if present, leaving any inline entity definitions. This applies to both parseSyntaxDefinition and parseSyntaxDefinitionFromString.
- Revised documentation of bootstrap build.
- Makefile - fix bootstrap target.
- Use FilePath instead of String for path (#64, anchpop).
0.7.6 – 2019-02-08
- Update xml definitions for C, CPP, D, Haskell, Maxima, PHP, Ruby, Typescript.
- Fix regex problem in erlang.xml (#63).
- Export WordSet constructors (#62, Chris Martin).
- Add support for protobuf (#60).
0.7.5 – 2018-12-01
- Updated definitions for cmake, lua, prolog, rust, yacc, javascript.
- Added definition for sml (#53).
- Added definition for J (#50).
- Added definition for typescript (#57).
- Fix comments preceded by multiple spaces in bash.xml (#54).
- Add *.txt extension and text/plain mime type to default.xml (#48).
- Add file:/// if we have a Windows path with a drive. Otherwise HXT will take it to be a URI. See jgm/pandoc#4836.
0.7.4 – 2018-10-08
- HTML output: use title instead of data-line-number. data- attributes are not valid HTML 4, and we would like this to work with HTML 4 (e.g. in epub v2). See jgm/pandoc#4920.
- Print FALLTHROUGH in –trace output.
- Updated syntax definitions for actionscript, awk, bash, c, clojure, cmake, coffee, cs, css, dockerfile, email, fortran, gcc, haskell, ini, isocpp, java, javadoc, javascript, jsp, kotlin, latex, lua, mediawiki, modelines, modula-2, objectivec, objectivecpp, opencl, perl, powershell, prolog, python, r, rest, rhtml, ruby, rust, scala, sql-mysql, sql-postgresql, sql, tcl, vhdl, xml, xul, yaml, zsh.
0.7.3 – 2018-08-27
- Add ‘default.xml’ to syntax descriptions.
- Raise base lower bounds to 4.8. Drop support for ghc 7.8.
- Use absolute number for cabal version, as now required.
0.7.2 – 2018-06-08
- Update syntax definitions from upstream.
- Added support for POV-Ray syntax (#46).
- Display line numbers without absolute positioning (David Baynard, #32).
0.7.1 – 2018-03-15
- Fix benchmarks, which previously depended on a module defined in skylighting (#42).
- Export Skylighting.Loader from Skylighting.Core.
- Bump version bound for criterion.
0.7.0.2 – 2018-03-06
- Ensure that regex captures are not overwritten by regexes without captures.
- Fixed bug in subDynamic (#41).
- Added tracing information about rules tried and dynamic regexes, for debugging.
- Fix highlighting for Haskell chars which breaks
-XDataKinds
(#40, Artyom Kazak).
0.7.0.1 – 2018-03-03
- Updated changelog.md.
0.7 – 2018-03-03
-
Split skylighting into skylighting-core (BSD3) and skylighting (GPL) (#37, Jonathan Daugherty). skylighting-core (BSD3 licensed) includes the core library functionality and the source of the XML syntax, but not the compiled Syntax modules, and skylighting (GPL2 licensed) includes Syntax modules compiled from the XML syntax files.
-
We discontinue support for GHC before 7.10 (because we need to support the reexport-modules Cabal directive.)
-
Print message about loaded syntax defs to stderr (#36).
-
New module Skylighting.Loader, exporting
loadSyntaxFromFile
andloadSyntaxesFromDir
(Jonathan Daugherty). -
Adjust tests to load xml definitions dynamically.
0.6 – 2018-01-18
-
Add ANSI color output (Alexander Ronald Altman, #22).
- New package dependencies:
ansi-terminal
andcolour
. - New module:
Skylighting.Format.ANSI
, exportingformatANSI
, (also reexported from the moduleSkylighting
). - In
Skylighting.Types
, new typesANSIColorLevel
andXterm256ColorCode
, and a new fieldansiColorLevel
inFormatOptions
. - Main
skylighting
executable now supports ANSI output (useansi
as argument to--format
), which is now the default output format. A new flag--color-level
has been added to select the number of colors (with options16
,256
,true
, and the defaultauto
).
- New package dependencies:
-
Reword error for missing contexts in IncludeRules.
-
Use ordNub instead of nub for missingIncludes.
0.5.1 – 2018-01-07
-
Fixed tokenizer exceptions (#31). Previously
throwError
did not actually generateLeft
results intokenize
, because of the way the MonadPlus instance worked. Rewrote the TokenizerM monad from scratch so that exceptions would not be skipped. -
Improved error message about undefined contexts.
-
Makefile: use cabal for bootstrap target.
-
README: remove stack bootstrap instructions. You can no longer bootstrap with stack, because it insists on building ALL the executables the first time, and of course that can’t be done with this library.
-
Use quickcheck for fuzz test.
0.5.0.1 – 2017-12-18
-
Small improvements to fuzz tests in test suite. We now ensure that we print the random text on test failure. Also, we now run the test with many smaller samples rather than one big one.
-
Add aeson lower bound (because of toEncoding) (#28).
0.5 – 2017-12-10
-
Fix line spacing and overflowing content in generated HTML (David Baynard, #25, see jgm/pandoc#4128).
- Fix empty line height, explicitly
- Ensure long lines scroll on screen
- Only apply colour to the outer div
- Don’t reset line number colour
- Fix borders on empty code lines
- Collapse divs correctly.
-
Changes to Style types and JSON instances. Previously we could not successfully round-trip through JSON.
tokenStyles
is now a map rather than an association list.- We now use
line-number-color
instead ofline-numbers
at the top level in the JSON instances, falling back toline-numbers
ineditor-colors
, for KDE theme compatibility. - We use
line-number-background-color
at the top level, falling back to the text background color. - We use
text-color
at the top level, falling back to thetext-color
of theNormal
token style if it exists, for KDE compatibility. - We use
background-color
at the top level, falling back to thebackground-color
ineditor-colors
, for KDE compatibility. - A round-trip JSON test has been added.
0.4.4.1 – 2017-11-27
- HTML formatting: fix color, bgcolor when numbering enabled. Previously, the code got the color and background color the numbers were supposed to get. See jgm/pandoc #4103.
- Updated syntax descriptions for bash, clojure, commonlisp, diff, dockerfile, doxygen, doxygenlua, fsharp, hamlet, haskell, haxe, java, javascript, julia, latex, literate-curry, literate-haskell, makefile, mediawiki, monobasic, ocaml, prolog, r, relaxng, scala, sci, sql-mysql, sql-postgresql, sql, xslt.
- test program: use –accept instead of –regen.
0.4.4 – 2017-11-21
- HTML formatter: always use an a element (rather than a div) for source lines. The divs were invalid, because code elements must contain phrasing content. Previously we used a elements when line anchors were called for, but there is no clear reason not to use them always.
- skylighting binary: add doctype to generated HTML.
0.4.3.2 – 2017-11-04
- Fixed regression in
data-line-number
attributes in HTML output. We should not include thelineIdPrefix
in front of this.
0.4.3.1 – 2017-11-03
- Fixed typo in css (Artymort).
- Fixed travis build times.
0.4.3 — 2017-11-02
FormatOptions
: addedlineIdPrefix
(jgm/pandoc#4031). This is needed because a web page may contain several code samples, and we need to make sure that the ids on lines are unique.- HTML formatter: use
lineIdPrefix
in ids for lines. - HTML formatter: Don’t put href attributes on divs.
0.4.2 — 2017-10-26
- HTML output: remove outer div. This prevented margin collapsing between the pre and surrounding block elements, and often gave us excess white space around code blocks. See jgm/pandoc#3996.
0.4.1 — 2017-09-28
- Updated XML definitions from KDE repository. Changed: actionscript, ada, agda, alert, alert_indent, asn1, awk, bash, boo, c, changelog, clojure, cmake, coldfusion, commonlisp, cpp, cs, css, curry, d, dockerfile, dot, doxygen, doxygenlua, eiffel, email, erlang, fortran, fsharp, gcc, haskell, haxe, isocpp, java, javascript, jsp, julia, lilypond, lua, m4, makefile, matlab, maxima, mips, modelines, modula-2, monobasic, objectivec, objectivecpp, ocaml, octave, opencl, pascal, perl, php, pike, postscript, prolog, purebasic, python, r, relaxng, relaxngcompact, rest, rhtml, ruby, rust, scala, scheme, sci, sql-mysql, sql-postgresql, sql, tcl, tcsh, verilog, vhdl, xml, xslt, xul, zsh.
- Added support for powershell, using definition from KDE repository.
- Stop terminating long builds on TravisCI (Kyle Ondy).
0.4 — 2017-09-15
- Removed ToJSON/FromJSON instances for KeywordAttr, WordSet, Matcher, Context, ContextSwitch, Rule, Syntax (added in 0.3.5). Creating these increased the memory requirements for compiling skylighting to a degree not justified by the usefulness of these instances.
0.3.5 — 2017-09-14
- Added ToJSON/FromJSON instances for all basic types.
- Added some background colors to ‘kate’ style, matching default.theme, and made FromJSON for Style sensitive to background-color.
0.3.4.1 – 2017-09-09
- HTML formatting: do not use
div
elements for source lines in inline output.
0.3.4 – 2017-09-09
-
HTML formatting changes (David Baynard). Note that these changes may require changes in hard-coded CSS that is used with skylighting’s HTML output.
- Wrap lines of source code in a
div
withdisplay
set toinline-block
. Thediv
s make per-line processing easier. They cannot be set asdisplay: block
as that introduces extra new lines when copying and pasting. - Render line numbers in html using CSS pseudo elements rather than
a table. The line numbers are always produced, as
data-line-number
attributes, and css to display them as::before
elements are always produced. The option to switch on line numbering only toggles a class; this means it is possible to toggle line numbering without re-running skylighting. - If the
linkAnchors
option is set, wrap with ana
element rather than adiv
, set so that clicking the line number (and only the line number) will jump to that line. - Code wraps by default when html is printed, with wrapped lines indented.
- Wrap lines of source code in a
0.3.3.1 – 2017-06-26
- Updated xml syntax definitions and clojure test.
- Improved ‘make update-xml’ target.
- Updated version bound for criterion.
0.3.3 – 2017-04-22
- Revert change from 0.3.2; now entities from a DTD are resolved if the DTD element is included. This is needed for agda.xml and some others. If you want to use a custom xml definition without needing language.dtd, just remove the reference to language.dtd in your xml file.
- Added
case
keyword for ats (Hanwen (Steinway) Wu).
0.3.2 – 2017-04-01
- Parse xml definitions without resolving entities from language.dtd. This allows xml definitions to be used even when language.dtd isn’t available. Existing definitions don’t rely on the two or three entities definied in language.dtd, so this is harmless.
- Small optimizations.
0.3.1 – 2017-02-28
- Use handwritten parser for Float instead of regex. Fixes jgm/highlighting-kate#57 (again).
- Added float parsing tests.
- Use parsec parsers, not regex, for CStringChar and CChar.
- Rewrote Int, Hex, Oct, CStringChar, CCHar parsers with parsec instead of regex. This speeds things up.
- Don’t include leading + in Int, Hex, Oct parsers. That gives
bad results for things like
i+1
.
0.3 – 2017-02-19
- Store literal binary-encoded representations of the Syntax structure in Skylighting.Syntax.*.hs, instead of the structure itself. This works around a problem ghc has compiling modules with large structures. This indirect method produces faster compile times and avoids massive memory usage by ghc (especially in profiling builds). For background see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16348340/. Closes #7.
- Types: Internals of ‘WordSet’ are no longer exposed.
0.2 – 2017-02-19
- Restore Data, Typeable, Generic instances for basic types. To do this, we remove reCompiled field from RE (API change). Instead, we have the tokenizer compile regexes the first time it encounters them, memoizing the results. Performance is not significantly worse.
- Skylighting.Syntax.*: use string representation of the Syntax, which is then ‘read’, rather than including the code for the data structure directly (#7). This indirect method produces faster compile times and avoids massive memory usage by ghc (especially in profiling builds). For background see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16348340/compiling-very-large-constants-with-ghc
- Use -fprof-auto-exported for profiling builds.
- Added benchmark for xml syntax definition parsing.
- Patched perl.xml (improperly escaped regex) (#8). This fixes a perl regex compilation error for regex patterns with backslash as delimiter, e.g. m\a.
- Add a flag to build with system pcre (Felix Yan).
0.1.1.5 – 2017-02-03
- Avoid depending on a PrintfArg instance for Text (#5). This isn’t provided in some older versions of the text library. This change should allow the package to build on older platforms.
0.1.1.4 – 2017-01-31
-
Properly escape characters in subDynamic. This fixes a problem that caused failures with
echo -e "s\0b\0c" | skylighting -s perl
-
More efficient rewrite of char escaping for regexes.
0.1.1.3 – 2017-01-29
- Increase test timeout to 6s.
- Avoid double {{}} in latex macros.
- Fixed problem compiling Format.LaTeX on older ghc versions (7.8.3) that can’t take a Text as PrintfArg.
0.1.1.2 – 2017-01-28
- Added much more extensive testing to ensure that tokenizers don’t hang or drop input.
- Fixed some issues with line-end and fallthrough context handling.
- Fixed a bug in WordDetect handling which caused it to drop input (#2).
0.1.1.1 – 2017-01-21
- Optimized. Speed is now comparable to highlighting-kate and often better.
- Added benchmarks.
0.1.1 – 2017-01-19
- Added breezeDark style, from breeze-dark.theme.
- Fixed performance bug in regex application (#1). This gives a significant speedup, especially for inputs with long lines.
0.1.0.1 – 2016-12-23
- Fixed bug in LaTeX renderer (backslash in wrong position).
0.1.0.0 – 2016-12-23
- Initial release
