Tack is a minimal syntax highlighter that outputs HTML.
**Note: this library is alpha and subject to breaking API changes.**
**More languages are on the way!**
Features:
- class-based
- minimal HTML
Supported languages:
- CSS
For a more fully-featured syntax highlighter, use [`syntect`](https://github.com/trishume/syntect).
## Examples
```css
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
min-height: 100%;
}
```
Tack usage:
```rust
fn main() {
let s = "
body {
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}".to_string();
let html = tack::coloured_html(s);
println!("{}", html);
}
```
Tack output:
```html
body {
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}
```
`syntect` usage:
```rust
use syntect::{
html::{ClassStyle, ClassedHTMLGenerator},
parsing::SyntaxSet,
util::LinesWithEndings,
};
fn main() {
let ss = SyntaxSet::load_defaults_newlines();
let s = "
body {
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}";
let syntax_ref = ss.find_syntax_by_extension("css").unwrap();
let mut html_generator =
ClassedHTMLGenerator::new_with_class_style(syntax_ref, &ss, ClassStyle::Spaced);
for line in LinesWithEndings::from(s) {
html_generator.parse_html_for_line_which_includes_newline(line);
}
let html = html_generator.finalize();
println!("{}", html);
}
```
`syntect` output:
```html
body {
display: flex;
min-height: 100%;
}
```
