Help:Highlighting Syntax

From rPath Wiki

Usage and Example

You can add source code and highlight the code's syntax in the rPath Wiki. To do so, use the <source></source> markup tag. Specify the source code language to have the elements highlighted properly via the lang argument.

For example, to add some Python code to a wiki page, use the following syntax:

<source lang="python">
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
import string
import getopt

program = sys.argv[0]

def usage(status, msg=''):
    stdout = sys.stdout
    try:
        sys.stdout = sys.stderr
        if msg:
            print msg
        print __doc__ % globals()
    finally:
        sys.stdout = stdout
        sys.exit(status)
...
</source>

Here is what the above example looks like when rendered:

 
#!/usr/bin/python
 
import sys
import string
import getopt
 
program = sys.argv[0]
 
def usage(status, msg=''):
    stdout = sys.stdout
    try:
        sys.stdout = sys.stderr
        if msg:
            print msg
        print __doc__ % globals()
    finally:
        sys.stdout = stdout
        sys.exit(status)
...
