(Sorry for the rich text mail, I needed to show some html output.)
I'm looking for a way to mark lisp expressions so that the html output (for
now?) can have some sort of syntax coloring. I'm now using the following
mapping:
functions → @command
arguments → @var
constants → @strong (for now only "t" and "()")
comments → @r
With the modified HTML.pm that I use (the small patch that I sent the other day
that adds different classes to identical tags) I have:
'command' => 'code class="command"'
'var' => 'var'
'strong' => 'strong'
'r' => 'span class="roman"'
I can isolate constants (@strong) with the css selectors because they are
inside lisp blocks (or marked with an extra @code when within explanatory
text), hence @strong is not ideal.
Here is some sample marking:
@lisp
(@command{defun} @var{subst} (@var{x y z})
(@command{cond} ((@command{atom} @var{z})
(@command{cond} ((@command{eq} @var{z y}) @var{x})
(@command{'}@strong{t} @var{z})))
(@command{'}@strong{t} (@command{cons} (@command{subst} @var{x y}
(@command{car} @var{z}))
(@command{subst} @var{x y} (@command{cdr} @var{z}))))))
@end lisp
and the styled html output (I use a style sheet similar to the one I showed in
the html+css thread) :
(defun subst (x y z)
(cond ((atom z)
(cond ((eq z y) x)
('t z)))
('t (cons (subst x y (car z))
(subst x y (cdr z))))))
(this is taken from "The Roots of Lisp" by Paul Graham)
My questions are
1) are there better semantic markers for arguments, constants and comments ?
2) if not, would it be acceptable to create a few more semantic markers that
correspond to "arguments", "constants" and "comments" ?
