Introduction

Ink is a wrapper for Pygments, a nice Python syntax highlighting library, and formatters like RDoc, Markdown and Textile.

Install

sudo gem install ink

If you want the source go to github.com/fnando/ink

Usage

require "rubygems"
require "ink"

# Setting pygmentize when is not in your $PATH
Ink::Highlight.bin = "/other/path/pygmentize"

# Syntax highlighting
Ink::Highlight.highlight("Rakefile")
Ink::Highlight.highlight("Rakefile", :format => :terminal)
Ink::Highlight.highlight("Rakefile", :language => "rb")
Ink::Highlight.highlight("Rakefile", :guess => :filename)
Ink::Highlight.highlight("Rakefile", :guess => :content)

# Formatting
Ink::Formatter.format(@code, "Rakefile")

Ruby on Rails

You can add the Ink::Helper module.

module ApplicationHelper
  include Ink::Helper
end

This module adds two methods.

<%= highlight @code, :file => "Rakefile" %>
<%= highlight @code, :language => :ruby %>

<%= format @code, "Rakefile" %>

Commandline

Obviously, you’ll need the CSS for the highlighted source. You can view the available list by running

$ ink list

Finally, you can retrieve the CSS with the command below:

$ ink show [NAME] > [NAME].css

TODO

Add preview option to the ink command
