Output Customization
The default behaviour of Text_Highlighter is to generate a syntax highlighted HTML version of the input.
It is possible to instead generate output that is suitable for being displayed on color-capable terminals such as xterm or through less(1) by telling Text_Highlighter to use another renderer:
Using the console renderer
<?php
require_once "Text/Highlighter.php";
require_once "Text/Highlighter/Renderer/Console.php";
$hlSQL =& Text_Highlighter::factory("SQL");
$hlSQL->setRenderer(new Text_Highlighter_Renderer_Console);
echo $hlSQL->highlight("SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE id = 12");
?>
Also it is possible to further customize the output of both the HTML- and the console-renderer by passing an associative array of options to the constructor:
Options for the HTML renderer
<?php
require_once "Text/Highlighter.php";
require_once "Text/Highlighter/Renderer/Html.php";
$renderer = new Text_Highlighter_Renderer_Html(array("numbers" => HL_NUMBERS_LI, "tabsize" => 4));
$hlJava =& Text_Highlighter::factory("JAVA");
$hlJava->setRenderer($renderer);
echo $hlJava->highlight('class JavaProgram {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}');
?>
The above example configures a HTML renderer with two options:
The first one tells it to number the lines in the output
using the <ol />
HTML tag and the
second one instructs the renderer to use a tab width of 4
spaces for indentation.
The following options are applicable:
Name | Description | Available in HTML renderer | Available in console renderer | Hints |
---|---|---|---|---|
numbers |
Line numbering style | yes | yes |
In the console renderer, this option takes just
TRUE or FALSE in order to denote if line numbers
should be displayed or not. The HTML rendered accepts
three different values: HL_NUMBERS_LI
instructs the class to number the lines using the
<ol /> HTML tag, while
HL_NUMBERS_TABLE uses a two-column
table with the line numbers in the first and the source code
in the second column. Setting the value to FALSE turns
line numbering off in the HTML renderer.

tabsize |
Tab width | yes | yes | |
colors |
Additional colors | no | yes |
An associate array of additional colors for color-enabled
consoles. The key of each array entry must be the name of
the color and the corresponding value must be the escape
sequence for it. (Example: \033[1;31mRed .)
