Vincent Ambo f904951384 feat(cheddar): Render code blocks in Markdown via syntect Implements fully static (i.e. no JavaScript!) highlighting of code blocks when rendering Markdown. This works by walking through the Comrak AST and replacing any code blocks with pre-rendered HTML blocks. Syntaxes are chosen based on the "block info", which is the string users put after the block's opening fence. This can either be a (case-insensitive) name of a syntax, or alternatively a file extension associated with the desired syntax. The theme is set to one that imitates GitHub.		2019-12-21 15:57:02 +00:00

cheddar

Cheddar is a tiny Rust tool that uses syntect to render source code to syntax-highlighted HTML.

It's invocation is compatible with cgit filters, i.e. data is read from stdin and the filename is taken from argv:

cat README.md | cheddar README.md > README.html

In fact, if you are looking at this file on git.tazj.in chances are that it was rendered by cheddar.

The name was chosen because I was eyeing a pack of cheddar-flavoured crisps while thinking about name selection.
