Available 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 version 1.3.

tabsize

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

encoding

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 "guess".

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.

class pygments.lexers.grammar_notation.AbnfLexer

Short names:abnf Filenames:*.abnf MIME types:text/x-abnf

Lexer for IETF 7405 ABNF (Updates 5234) grammars.

New in version 2.1.

class pygments.lexers.grammar_notation.BnfLexer

Short names:bnf Filenames:*.bnf MIME types:text/x-bnf

This lexer is for grammer notations which are similar to original BNF.

In order to maximize a number of targets of this lexer, let’s decide some designs:

• We don’t distinguish Terminal Symbol.
• We do assume that NonTerminal Symbol are always enclosed with arrow brackets.
• We do assume that NonTerminal Symbol may include any printable characters except arrow brackets and ASCII 0x20. This assumption is for RBNF.
• We do assume that target notation doesn’t support comment.
• We don’t distinguish any operators and punctuation except ::=.

Though these desision making might cause too minimal highlighting and you might be disappointed, but it is reasonable for us.

Multi-Dialect Lexer for Modula-2

class pygments.lexers.modula2.Modula2Lexer

Short names:modula2, m2 Filenames:*.def, *.mod MIME types:text/x-modula2

For Modula-2 source code.

The Modula-2 lexer supports several dialects. By default, it operates in fallback mode, recognising the combined literals, punctuation symbols and operators of all supported dialects, and the combined reserved words and builtins of PIM Modula-2, ISO Modula-2 and Modula-2 R10, while not differentiating between library defined identifiers.

To select a specific dialect, a dialect option may be passed or a dialect tag may be embedded into a source file.

Dialect Options:

m2pim

Select PIM Modula-2 dialect.

m2iso

Select ISO Modula-2 dialect.

m2r10

Select Modula-2 R10 dialect.

objm2

Select Objective Modula-2 dialect.

The PIM and ISO dialect options may be qualified with a language extension.

Language Extensions:

+aglet

Select Aglet Modula-2 extensions, available with m2iso.

+gm2

Select GNU Modula-2 extensions, available with m2pim.

+p1

Select p1 Modula-2 extensions, available with m2iso.

+xds

Select XDS Modula-2 extensions, available with m2iso.

Passing a Dialect Option via Unix Commandline Interface

Dialect options may be passed to the lexer using the dialect key. Only one such option should be passed. If multiple dialect options are passed, the first valid option is used, any subsequent options are ignored.

Examples:

$ pygmentize -O full,dialect=m2iso -f html -o /path/to/output /path/to/input

Use ISO dialect to render input to HTML output

$ pygmentize -O full,dialect=m2iso+p1 -f rtf -o /path/to/output /path/to/input

Use ISO dialect with p1 extensions to render input to RTF output

Embedding a Dialect Option within a source file

A dialect option may be embedded in a source file in form of a dialect tag, a specially formatted comment that specifies a dialect option.

Dialect Tag EBNF:

dialectTag :
    OpeningCommentDelim Prefix dialectOption ClosingCommentDelim ;

dialectOption :
    'm2pim' | 'm2iso' | 'm2r10' | 'objm2' |
    'm2iso+aglet' | 'm2pim+gm2' | 'm2iso+p1' | 'm2iso+xds' ;

Prefix : '!' ;

OpeningCommentDelim : '(*' ;

ClosingCommentDelim : '*)' ;

No whitespace is permitted between the tokens of a dialect tag.

In the event that a source file contains multiple dialect tags, the first tag that contains a valid dialect option will be used and any subsequent dialect tags will be ignored. Ideally, a dialect tag should be placed at the beginning of a source file.

An embedded dialect tag overrides a dialect option set via command line.

Examples:

(*!m2r10*) DEFINITION MODULE Foobar; ...

Use Modula2 R10 dialect to render this source file.

(*!m2pim+gm2*) DEFINITION MODULE Bazbam; ...

Use PIM dialect with GNU extensions to render this source file.

Algol Publication Mode:

In Algol publication mode, source text is rendered for publication of algorithms in scientific papers and academic texts, following the format of the Revised Algol-60 Language Report. It is activated by passing one of two corresponding styles as an option:

algol

render reserved words lowercase underline boldface and builtins lowercase boldface italic

algol_nu

render reserved words lowercase boldface (no underlining) and builtins lowercase boldface italic

The lexer automatically performs the required lowercase conversion when this mode is activated.

Example:

$ pygmentize -O full,style=algol -f latex -o /path/to/output /path/to/input

Render input file in Algol publication mode to LaTeX output.

Rendering Mode of First Class ADT Identifiers:

The rendering of standard library first class ADT identifiers is controlled by option flag “treat_stdlib_adts_as_builtins”.

When this option is turned on, standard library ADT identifiers are rendered as builtins. When it is turned off, they are rendered as ordinary library identifiers.

treat_stdlib_adts_as_builtins (default: On)

The option is useful for dialects that support ADTs as first class objects and provide ADTs in the standard library that would otherwise be built-in.

At present, only Modula-2 R10 supports library ADTs as first class objects and therefore, no ADT identifiers are defined for any other dialects.

Example:

$ pygmentize -O full,dialect=m2r10,treat_stdlib_adts_as_builtins=Off ...

Render standard library ADTs as ordinary library types.

Iterating over all lexers

New in version 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).
