Bitbucket uses the Pygment project for syntax highlighting its source code listings. Currently we're missing a Fantom lexer, so if anyone is interested in contributing one, head over to: http://pygments.org/contribute/.

This weekend I started working on Fantom lexer for Pygments - Bitbucket link. So far I've added support for usings, comments, keywords, numbers, strings and URIs. Currently it looks like this:

• style-default
• style-colorful

My next plan to add slot and local var declaration detection, but it seems a bit tricky to do correctly.

I'd like to hear any feedback – comments on choice of token types (http://pygments.org/docs/tokens/), sample files to check highlighting, and especially pull requests :)

Sweet! Can't wait to get this working in BitBucket ;)

Looks very nice, one thing you might want to have in your test is DSLs like Str<||> and Regex<||> - I typically just treat <||> like a string literal.

Thanks!

DSL support done, also added support for type/slot literals – example

Pretty cool, walmost started working on that few weeks ago, as I'd really like to see more than black text on bitbucket :)

I don't have the time, so glad you are ding it !

Finally I made some initial detection of method definitions, here's an example of highlighted compiler::Parser – http://cdn.bitbucket.org/ivan_inozemtsev/fantom-pygments/downloads/Parser.html

I think that's enough for the first version, and more advanced highlighting will require more effort, so I'm going to test it thoroughly on different sources to catch obvious mistakes and then try to propose it into pygments.

Nice work ivan - definitely looks usable. Do you get any control over the color scheme on BitBucket? Or is it up to them?

Thanks, Andy

In fact I have no idea – pygments lib separates lexers and colorers and I don't know what is the default scheme bitbucket uses. However pygments has docs about contributing their own colorers, so probably there's way to submit default colorer for a given lexer
