Well documented, I‘ve tried to add a useful documentation comment to everything that isn’t utterly self explanatory.Include a compressed dump of all the default syntax definitions in the library binary so users don't have to manage a folder of syntaxes.

High quality highlighting, supporting things like heredocs and complex syntaxes (like Rust's).

#TEXTMATE 2 BINARY CODE#

Expose internals of the parsing process so text editors can do things like cache parse states and use semantic info for code intelligence.

API allows use in fancy text editors with piece tables and incremental re-highlighting and the like.

Include easy to use API for basic cases.

Load up quickly, currently in around 23ms but could potentially be even faster.

Highlight super quickly, faster than every editor except Sublime Text 3.

Work with many languages (accomplished through using existing grammar formats).

In particular, it is possible to use the highlighting component of syntect without the parser (for instance when hand-rolling a higher performance parser for a particular language), by adding default-features = false to the syntect entry in your Cargo.toml.įor more information on available features, see the features section in Cargo.toml. Syntect makes heavy use of cargo features, to support users who require only a subset of functionality. To fetch all the required dependencies for running the tests.

If you've cloned this repository, be sure to run git submodule update -init

Do this if you see libonig.so: cannot open shared object file. I dunno why or even if this happens on other places than Travis, but see travis.yml for what it does to make it work. target/debug/build/onig_sys-*/out/lib/ to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. Note: with stable Rust on Linux there is a possibility you might have to add.

#TEXTMATE 2 BINARY INSTALL#

You can install it by adding this line to your Cargo.toml: syntect = '1.7'Īfter that take a look at the documentation and the examples. If you still have any reasons you don't think it fits your needs, file an issue or email me. I’ve spent months working on, tweaking, optimizing, documenting and testing this library. Basically I‘ll be maintaining the library but not developing it further. I’ll also quite possibly still fix issues and definitely offer advice and knowledge on how the library works. Rest assured if you submit PRs I will review them and likely merge promptly. I won’t be committing much anymore because the marginal return on additional work isn‘t very high. Note: I consider this project “done” in the sense that it works quite well for its intended purpose, accomplishes the major goals I had, and I‘m unlikely to make any sweeping changes. If you are writing a text editor (or something else needing highlighting) in Rust and this library doesn't fit your needs, I consider that a bug and you should file an issue or email me. It aims to be a good solution for any Rust project that needs syntax highlighting, including deep integration with text editors written in Rust. Syntect is a syntax highlighting library for Rust that uses Sublime Text syntax definitions.
