==Quick Usage==
# Extract your archive to some directory (or clone the repo, or whatever). This should be inside your document root, as the style/ directory needs to be web-visible.
# If you downloaded a development version from GitHub (as opposed to an archive from this site), remove the tests/ directory, this is not something you want to expose on a public machine.
# Create a directory called 'cache' inside your luminous directory and make sure it is writeable to your server (this probably involves 777 permissions).
# Now test everything is working by creating a new file, the hello world of highlighting:{{{lang=php
<?php
require_once '/path/to/luminous/luminous.php';
echo luminous::head_html(); // outputs CSS includes, intended to go in <head>
echo luminous::highlight('c', 'printf("hello world\n");');
}}}
# Point your browser at the page you just created and it should show a single line of highlighted source code.
== Problems? ==
Check out the [[troubleshooting]] guide.
== Advanced Usage ==
* Consult the [[cache]] page to use an SQL table as your cache, or learn more about the cache's behaviour.
* Check the examples/ directory for a few examples of how you might use Luminous
* Have a look at the [[User-API-Reference]] for setting up runtime configuration settings.
==Hacking==
If you want to change how Luminous works or add new features, check out the [[hacking]] section.
If you want to contribute but are stuck for ideas (hint hint), check out the [[todo]] page.
== Local API Docs==
The packaged distros come with Doxygen API documentation in the docs/html/ directory.
These documents are intended to be a class/method specification. The documentation on this site is supposed to be a little more high level and it is not exhaustive; if you find it insufficient the Doxygen pages should provide more detail. It covers both the public callers' API and the internal scanning API.
A copy of these is held [!http://luminous.asgaard.co.uk/assets/luminous/docs/html/ online] for a recent development/git version (which might not be the same as _your_ version).
