Iterating over all lexers

This page lists all available builtin lexers and the options they take.

Currently, all lexers support these options:

stripnl

Strip leading and trailing newlines from the input (default: True)

stripall

Strip all leading and trailing whitespace from the input (default: False).

ensurenl

Make sure that the input ends with a newline (default: True). This is required for some lexers that consume input linewise. New in Pygments 1.3.

tabsize

If given and greater than 0, expand tabs in the input (default: 0).

encoding

New in Pygments 0.6.

If given, must be an encoding name (such as "utf-8"). This encoding will be used to convert the input string to Unicode (if it is not already a Unicode string). The default is "latin1".

If this option is set to "guess", a simple UTF-8 vs. Latin-1 detection is used, if it is set to "chardet", the chardet library is used to guess the encoding of the input.

The "Short Names" field lists the identifiers that can be used with the get_lexer_by_name() function.

These lexers are builtin and can be imported from pygments.lexers:

Iterating over all lexers

New in Pygments 0.6.

To get all lexers (both the builtin and the plugin ones), you can use the get_all_lexers() function from the pygments.lexers module:

>>> from pygments.lexers import get_all_lexers
>>> i = get_all_lexers()
>>> i.next()
('Diff', ('diff',), ('*.diff', '*.patch'), ('text/x-diff', 'text/x-patch'))
>>> i.next()
('Delphi', ('delphi', 'objectpascal', 'pas', 'pascal'), ('*.pas',), ('text/x-pascal',))
>>> i.next()
('XML+Ruby', ('xml+erb', 'xml+ruby'), (), ())

As you can see, the return value is an iterator which yields tuples in the form (name, aliases, filetypes, mimetypes).

Literate Haskell can allow both Bird-style and LaTeX-style in the same source file, I think. (My own Haskell programs are Bird-style with Plain TeX; so the first character will be a percentage sign or \input birdstyle at first; unless they are separate modules included in the same printout, in which case they will be included with \input into the main file.)

One idea is whitespace highlighter, which means that all spaces, tabs, and newlines, are highlighted with a background color (a different color for each kind of whitespace), while anything else is just the default color of text.
