GNU Source-highlight 3.0 (with Library)

[Lorenzo Bettini]

GNU Source-highlight 3.0 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/src-highlite/ and mirrors of that site (see
list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with
syntax highlighting.

Since version 3.0, source-higlight also provides a *C++ highlight
library* that you can use in your programs!

You can also find details about new features of source-highlight on my
blog, in this area:
http://tronprog.blogspot.com/search/label/source-highlight.

     * XOrg conf files

as source languages, and

      HTML
      XHTML
      ANSI color escape sequences
      LaTeX
      Texinfo
      DocBook

as output format.

Language definition files and output language definition files, which
are part of source-highlight distribution, can also be downloaded
independently from, respectively:

     * http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/lang_files/
     * http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/outlang_files/

Source-highlight depends on the Boost regex library
(http://www.boost.org/) so you need to install this library (boost
libraries are usually shipped with most distributions).

Source-highlight can also generate cross references; in order to do this
it relies on GNU Ctags, http://ctags.sourceforge.net.

Version 3.0

    * provides a library for highlighting that can be used
      by other programs.
    *  --regex-range (highlight only specified lines of an input file,
      according to specific regular expressions describing the delimiting
      lines).
    * deal with HTML5 features (thanks to Simon Pieters)
    * use --docdir for documentation directory
    * --binary-output command line option to write output files in binary
      mode
    * Added the program source-highlight-settings to write a configuration
      file for source-highlight (and its library) in the user home
directory.
    * languange definition for generic configuration files
    * languange definition for pkg-config files
    * the input language is now discovered also using the whole file
      name (besides the file extension if any)
    * in .lang files one can specify the exit level
