Hi,

please apologize this newbie question but I can't find the answer googling:

is there a way to use a syntax-highlighter for pdf-output with the
docbook->xsltproc->fop toolchain?

I found that all code is enclosed in the docbook-progammlisting tag and so I
don't see any possibility to make xsl-transformations here.

Any hints?
HI,

The docbook toolchains do their own highlighting of the contents of
the programlisting tag there is no way to use source-highlight.

Dblatex does some highlighting, I don't know what it uses (best guess
something in Latex) or how customisable it is.

The XLST stylesheets that generate FO for FOP do no highlighting by
default.  There is a README in the docbook-xsl/highlighting that says:

"To use the syntax higlighting extension with DocBook-XSL 1.74.3+, you must:
1. Use a processor that works with the extension: Saxon 6 or Xalan-J.
2. Add the latest version of xslthl-2.X.X.jar to your classpath.
3. Set the highlight.source parameter to 1.
4. Import into your customization one of the following stylesheet module:
   * html/highlight.xsl
   * xhtml/highlight.xsl
   * xhtml-1_1/highlight.xsl
   * fo/highlight.xsl
5. Use that customiztion layer.


Note: Saxon 8.5 or later is also supported, but since it is an XSLT 2.0
processor it is not guaranteed to work with DocBook-XSL in all
circumstances. "


Ok, thank you.
I finally got this tool-chain working now.

The only thing missing are line numbers. Looks like this isn't supported by the actual xslthl-2.0.2.jar!

And there is one major drawback: the turn-around time is very long.


Never tried it so can't help any further.

Cheers
Lex
