Thomas Guest was working on dynamically loadable syntax highlighters. His work provides the ability to write customized syntax highlighters and would help you here.

Not really, basically I just want to turn the formatting off for one phrase...


For now, I guess, you have two choices: you can escape to BoostBook markup and hand-highlight your code (I know, not too pretty), or you can wait just a little bit longer (there's no telling how long, though :( ).

Ah, OK I'll try escaping to XML, it's going to be tricky though as I want the text to contain a link. Still at least putting it inside a [def ... ] really helps: a very nice feature, but am I correct in thinking that macro expansion is not recursive?


Here's a peek at the features being discussed:

    * support for including external files (quickbook or code)
      status: James Fowler implemented, not in CVS.

Now that really would help me: so far I've only converted a half dozen type traits classes to quickbook (just playing with the formatting and layout at present), and the quickbook file is already getting a bit unmanageable. Once you get more than a few sections it gets hard to see where you are in the document, especially if they're nested within each other. A list of includes would be much easier to organise IMO.


Any chance of this one going into cvs soon?

Thanks,

John.

    * dynamically loading syntax highlighters' definitions (includes
      support for custom highlighters)
      status: Thomas Guest implemented, not in CVS

    * collectors (see Joel's post on Literate Programming)
      status: draft proposal, working out details and interaction
      with other features

    * scripting support
      status: has been discussed... In the end, this should mostly reuse
      other features. A prototype implementation reusing collectors and
      (very-)extended macros should be possible, but...

As I said, right now, there isn't a time frame. Perhaps we should get our act together, people?

Best,
