"s}" incorrectly interpreted during Perl coloring

Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:22:34 -0000

If you have the following line of Perl code:

my $device = $self->{tcpdumps}->{$dev_name}->{$interface}->{device};

This substring gets incorrectly rendered in pink:

s}->{$dev_name}->{$interface}

Ada identifiers not detected (partial fix included)

Erik Sigra — Sat, 13 May 2006 08:08:14 -0000

Ada identifiers are not correctly detected. The first
problem is that it detects words like A__B and B_ as
Ada identifiers, which they are not. The second
problem is that it does not detect words like Täthet
and Anlaß as identifiers, which they are.

missing keywords for C++

Anonymous — Thu, 30 Mar 2006 11:25:19 -0000

The following C++ keywords are not recognized as
keywords and so they are displayed wrong:

and and_eq asm bitand bitor compl const_cast export not
not_eq or or_eq try xor xor_eq

Writing error in manpage: "a like like this"

"a like like this" should be "a line like this"

inconsistent color codes are generated (patch attached)

Erik Sigra — Wed, 18 Jan 2006 10:59:47 -0000

The output contains inconsistent color codes.
Sometimes they have a #, sometimes not. Sometimes
hexadecimal digits are lowercase, sometimes not. This
patch fixes it. To verify that there are no uppercase
hexadecimal digits left after applying the patch,
execute this command:

grep -E "(color|link)=\"#[0123456789abcdefABCDEF]{0,5}
[ABCDEF][0123456789abcdefABCDEF]{0,5}\">" code2html

Comments on bash scripts bleed to the next line

Anonymous — Tue, 13 Jul 2004 05:44:05 -0000

When code2html highlights comments in a bash script, it
highlights the comment itself and the next line after
it. For example, in html_simple output mode:

<pre>
#this is a comment
this_isnt
</pre>

should be:

<pre>
#this is a comment
this_isnt
</pre>

C++ comments in C don't work

Travis Goodspeed — Fri, 16 May 2003 15:52:00 -0000

I realize that it is probably against the ANSI standard to use // for
comments, but it has wiggled its way in. Programmers use it, and
compilers accept it.

java import bleeds into comment

import foo.bar;//this comment will be strong blue instead of grey

Still weak on bash scripts

Bill Shotts — Mon, 11 Feb 2002 02:19:14 -0000

I am using Code2html to process some bash scripts on my
site (linuxcommand.org) and it is still having trouble
with complex scripts.

See http://www.linuxcommand.org/html_text/new_script.html
to see what I mean. Thanks.

Perl comment color bleeds into line No.

Anonymous — Tue, 27 Mar 2001 05:29:45 -0000

Multi-line perl comments do not exist.

A Perl comment line ends at the end of the line it is
started on.

Multi-line perl comments seem to be occuring, with the
closing line being at the beginning of the
next line.

This has the side effect of the line number for a line
after a perl comment being coloured as well.

Solutions:
1. Redo the comment regex to terminate at the end of a
line
2. Make the line number font aware, or seperately font
tagged.

Example:

# This is the first comment
# This is another comment
$variable

Running code2html over this will make the "2" and "3"
line numbers coloured gray like the variables
