Source Code Highlight FilterThe AsciiDoc distribution includes a source code syntax highlight filter (source-highlight-filter.conf) which uses GNU source-highlight. GNU source-highlight generates nicely formatted source code for most common programming languages (see the examples below). InstallationAs a prerequisite you will have installed and tested GNU source-highlight. See Appendix A for Kubuntu installation. Now install the AsciiDoc filter:
DocBook Output Definition file
Source-highlight 2.2 does not ship with DocBook output definition files. If you want to generate DocBook instead of HTML the following simple DocBook output definition file will do the trick: extension "xml" bold "<emphasis role=\"strong\">$text</emphasis>" italics "<emphasis>$text</emphasis>" translations "&" "&" "<" "<" ">" ">" end To install it:
