Luminous - a Syntax Highlighter for PHP - v0.7.0
=======================================
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/markwatkinson/luminous.png)](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).
Licensing
=========
Luminous is distributed under the LGPL but includes a bunch of stuff which is
separate.
- Everything under src/ and languages/ is part of Luminous.
- Everything under tests/regression/*/* is real source code taken from various
projects, which is used only as test data. It is all GPL-compatible, but
is distributed under its own license. This directory is only present in
the git repository and is not part of any stable distribution archives.
