New version released, based on NimbleParsec. It’s way faster than the previous version based on ExSpirit. I’ll add some docs soon, but the code is out there in the repo if you want to play with it. It’s a great way to look at how flexible @josevalim’s NimbleParsec is.

Another example of Makeup’s output: the official elixir docs highlighted by Makeup instead of Highlight.js: API Reference – elixir v1.7.0-rc.0.

For an example of actual code being highlighted, see here: Agent – elixir v1.7.0-rc.0

It also highlights the iex prompt correctly: Calendar.ISO – elixir v1.7.0-rc.0, so it now doubles as an iex lexer.

You can’t try this at home yet because it still depends on an unreleased package and on manually editing the minified javascript returned by ExDoc to play well with my own javascript.

EDIT: the CSS stylefor the highlighted code is not the same. I didn’t try to port the highlightjs stylesheet, and I don’t think I should because my own style is richer and shows more distinctions between identifiers. The them is my new “Samba” theme, which is a patched version of the Pygments “Tango” style to render module names in a different color from variable names and play better with the rest of the ExDocs theme.

A new version of ExDoc has been released. This version (0.16.3) supports using Makedown (a markdown implementation that uses Makeup) as the markdown processor. Instructions on how to integrate here:

This means you can now use Makeup as the syntax highlighting library for the hexdocs documentation of your packages.
