%SHORTDESCRIPTION%

---++ Introduction

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 =%<nop>CODE{"<i>language</i>"}%= and =%<nop>ENDCODE%=.  The following table indicates the values used for the different languages:

<blockquote>
| *Language* | *Syntax* |
| bash | =%<nop>CODE{"bash"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| C++ | =%<nop>CODE{"cpp"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| C# | =%<nop>CODE{"csharp"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Corba | =%<nop>CODE{"corba"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| CSS | =%<nop>CODE{"css"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| HTML | =%<nop>CODE{"html"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| IDL | =%<nop>CODE{"idl"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Java | =%<nop>CODE{"java"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| <nop>JavaScript | =%<nop>CODE{"javascript"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Lua | =%<nop>CODE{"lua"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Makefile | =%<nop>CODE{"makefile"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Perl | =%<nop>CODE{"perl"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| PHP3 | =%<nop>CODE{"php3"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| PL/SQL | =%<nop>CODE{"plsql"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Python | =%<nop>CODE{"python"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Scheme | =%<nop>CODE{"scheme"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| TCL | =%<nop>CODE{"tcl"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Visual Basic | =%<nop>CODE{"vb"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| Verilog | =%<nop>CODE{"verilog"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| VHDL | =%<nop>CODE{"vhdl"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
| XML | =%<nop>CODE{"xml"}%= ... =%<nop>ENDCODE%= |
</blockquote>

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://sourceforge.net/projects/beautifier/ and converting the relevant language file from PHP to Perl. Note: The original http://www.beautifier.org/ website is defunct.

---+++ Display Customisation

The code fragments are formaated using CSS. To change the look, upload a new version of [[%PUBURL%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%/style.css][style.css]] to this topic.

---++ Examples

<blockquote>
<pre>
%<nop>CODE{"cpp"}%
   void foo() {
     print("Do stuff.\n");
   }
%ENDCODE%
</pre>
</blockquote> 

---++ <nop>%TOPIC% Global Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write ==%<nop>&lt;plugin&gt;_&lt;setting&gt;%==, i.e. ==%<nop>BEAUTIFIERPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%==

   * One line description, is shown in the %SYSTEMWEB%.TextFormattingRules topic:
      * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Highlight and format source code fragments of various languages

      * Run the [[%SCRIPTURL{configure}%][configure]] script, enable the plugin in the __Plugins__ section
      * Configure the plugin: See plugin settings above.
      * Test if the installation was successful:

%CODE{"cpp"}%
#include <nworld.h>

/**
    @brief Advance the simulation by one timeslice.
*/
void nWorld::StepSim()
{
    // Iterate simulation loop
    for (node = entityList.GetHead(); node != NULL; node = node->GetSucc())
    {
        entity = (nEntity*)node->GetPtr();
        entity->Trigger(this, this->stepSize);
    }
}
%ENDCODE%

%CODE{"unknown"}%
	testing an invalid language setting...
%ENDCODE%
