Pygmentize (Bundled)

A simple wrapper around Python's Pygments code formatter, with Pygments bundled.

Available as a simple String-in, Buffer-out interface and also as a read/write-Stream interface.

API

pygmentize(options, code, callback)

Pygmentize a given code string and return it as a Buffer to the callback Function.

• options contains options to be passed to Pygments (see Options).
• code is a String to be formatted.
• callback is a Function, called when complete. The first argument will be an error object/string if there was a problem and the second argument will be a Buffer containing your formatted code.

pygmentize(options)

When you only supply the options argument, it will return a read/write Stream that you can pipe to and from to format your code.

• options contains options to be passed to Pygments (see Options).

Options

Language/lexer, formatter, and their options are currently supported. Filters are not supported yet.

• lang: source language/lexer name - string
• format: output formatter name - string
• options: lexer and formatter options - object

Examples

The string interface is very simple:

var pygmentize = require('pygmentize-bundled')

pygmentize({ lang: 'js', format: 'html' }, 'var a = "b";', function (err, result) {
  console.log(result.toString())
})

Results in:

<div class="highlight"><pre>
  <span class="kd">var</span>
  <span class="nx">a</span>
  <span class="o">=</span>
  <span class="s2">&quot;b&quot;</span>
  <span class="p">;</span>
</pre></div>

Example with extra options:

var pygmentize = require('pygmentize-bundled')

pygmentize({ lang: 'php', format: 'html', options: { startinline: 1 } }, 'var a = true;', function (err, result) {
  console.log(result.toString())
})

A streaming API is also available. Simply omit the code and callback arguments:

var pygmentize = require('pygmentize-bundled')

process.stdin.pipe(
  pygmentize({ lang: 'js', format: 'html' })
).pipe(process.stdout);

Refer to the Pygments documentation. For supported languages, see the list of lexers, for supported formatted, see the list of formatters.
