Luminous - a Syntax Highlighter for PHP - v0.7.0
 | 
						|
=======================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[](http://travis-ci.org/markwatkinson/luminous)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Luminous is an accurate and style-able syntax highlighter for PHP which 
 | 
						|
supports a bunch of common languages and output to HTML and LaTeX.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you simply want to use Luminous as a library, __please don't clone this 
 | 
						|
repository__. Or if you do, make sure you delete luminous/tests afterwards. 
 | 
						|
Do not expose luminous/tests on a public machine. It is recommended to get a 
 | 
						|
packaged version from the links below.

Installation
 | 
						|
============
 | 
						|
Extract your tarball, zip, whatever, into some directory where it's going to be
 | 
						|
used (i.e. probably your web-server).  We'll assume it's called `luminous/'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Quick Usage 
 | 
						|
===========
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First, if you're going to use caching, which you probably are, create a 
 | 
						|
directory called luminous/cache and give it writable permissions (chmod 777 on
 | 
						|
most servers -- yours may accept a less permissive value). Then include
 | 
						|
luminous/luminous.php and away you go!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
require_once 'luminous/luminous.php';
 | 
						|
echo luminous::head_html(); // outputs CSS includes, intended to go in <head>
 | 
						|
echo luminous::highlight('c', 'printf("hello world\n");');
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Useful examples can be found in luminous/examples/. If you have problems,
 | 
						|
check that luminous/examples/example.php works.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Command Line Usage
 | 
						|
==================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you're crazy and want to use Luminous/PHP on the command line, guess what,
 | 
						|
you can!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ cd luminous/
 | 
						|
$ php luminous.php --help
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Polite Warning
 | 
						|
================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Luminous is fairly slow. But it caches! So it's not slow. Or is it?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
It depends on your use-case, is the simple answer. Most people should make sure
 | 
						|
the cache works (create luminous/cache with appropriate permissions), and after
 | 
						|
that, Luminous will almost certainly have negligable impact on their 
 | 
						|
performance.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Optimizations are welcome, but not at the expense of maintainability.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Caching 
 | 
						|
The cache can be stored either directly on the file system or in a MySQL table
 | 
						|
(support for other DBMSs will come later, patches welcome). In either case,
 | 
						|
check out the [cache documentation](http://luminous.asgaard.co.uk/index.php/docs/show/cache).
 |

						|
