== About | ||||
CodeRay is a Ruby library for syntax highlighting. | ||||
Syntax highlighting means: You put your code in, and you get it back colored; | ||||
Keywords, strings, floats, comments - all in different colors. | ||||
And with line numbers. | ||||
*Syntax* *Highlighting*... | ||||
* makes code easier to read and maintain | ||||
* lets you detect syntax errors faster | ||||
* helps you to understand the syntax of a language | ||||
* looks nice | ||||
* is what everybody should have on their website | ||||
* solves all your problems and makes the girls run after you | ||||

== Installation | ||||
You need RubyGems[http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126]. | ||||
% gem install coderay | ||||
Since CodeRay is still in beta stage, nightly buildy may be useful: | ||||
% gem install coderay -rs rd.cYcnus.de/coderay | ||||
=== Dependencies | ||||
CodeRay needs Ruby 1.8 and the | ||||
strscan[http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/strscan/rdoc/index.htm] | ||||
library (part of the standard library.) It should also run with Ruby 1.9 and | ||||
yarv. | ||||
== Example Usage | ||||
(Forgive me, but this is not highlighted.) | ||||
require 'coderay' | ||||
tokens = CodeRay.scan "puts 'Hello, world!'", :ruby | ||||
page = tokens.html :line_numbers => :inline, :wrap => :page | ||||
puts page | ||||

== Credits | ||||
=== Special Thanks to | ||||
* licenser (Heinz N. Gies) for ending my QBasic career, inventing the Coder | ||||
project and the input/output plugin system. | ||||
CodeRay would not exist without him. | ||||
=== Thanks to | ||||
* Caleb Clausen for writing RubyLexer (see | ||||
http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubylexer) and lots of very interesting mail | ||||
traffic | ||||
* birkenfeld (Georg Brandl) and mitsuhiku (Arnim Ronacher) for PyKleur. You | ||||
guys rock! | ||||
* Jamis Buck for writing Syntax (see http://rubyforge.org/projects/syntax) | ||||
I got some useful ideas from it. | ||||
* Doug Kearns and everyone else who worked on ruby.vim - it not only helped me | ||||
coding CodeRay, but also gave me a wonderful target to reach for the Ruby | ||||
scanner. | ||||
* everyone who used CodeBB on http://www.rubyforen.de and | ||||
http://www.infhu.de/mx | ||||
* iGEL, magichisoka, manveru, WoN�Do and everyone I forgot from rubyforen.de | ||||
* Daniel and Dethix from ruby-mine.de | ||||
* Dookie (who is no longer with us...) and Leonidas from | ||||
http://www.python-forum.de | ||||
* Andreas Schwarz for finding out that CaseIgnoringWordList was not case | ||||
ignoring! Such things really make you write tests. | ||||
* matz and all Ruby gods and gurus | ||||
* The inventors of: the computer, the internet, the true color display, HTML & | ||||
CSS, VIM, RUBY, pizza, microwaves, guitars, scouting, programming, anime, | ||||
manga, coke and green ice tea. | ||||
Where would we be without all those people? | ||||

* As you can see, CodeRay was created under heavy use of *free* software. | ||||
* So CodeRay is also *free*. | ||||
* If you use CodeRay to create software, think about making this software | ||||
*free*, too. | ||||
* Thanks :) | ||||
