Comparare et Pendere (lat. compare and weight) User Guide

VERSION

0.9 release date 2013/01/25

SYNOPSIS

Comparare et Pendendere is a source code formatter that produces HTML output from a set of source codes in order to compare and analyse the individual source codes. This tools aims to ease highlighting source code in wikis, documentation or other applications. Comparare et Pendere is a Formatter on-top of pygments (The python syntax highlighter, http://pygments.org).

DEPENDENCIES

  • Python version >= 3
  • Pygments version >= 1.5

To install pygments enter on a debian-like system enter: sudo apt-get pygments

INSTALLATION

Download the source archive https://github.com/gixxi/comparareetpendere/raw/master/dist/ComparareEtPendere-0.9.tar.gz and extract it:

tar -xf ComparareEtPendere-0.9.tar.gz

Change to the directory:

cd ComparareEtPendere-0.9

Install the python package:

sudo python3 setup.py install

USAGE

Assuming you have several sourcecode files you want to compare in the current directory, you might either use the command line script run.py or a your own python script.

Command line

To get help enter:

python3 run.py -h

To generate the output enter:

python3 run.py -i Quicksort.hs -i Quicksort.java -t 'Haskell Quicksort' -t 'Java Quicksort' -o output.html

Your own python script

The following python code generated a file output.html in the current directory:

from MultisourceHtmlFormatter import MultiSourceFormatter
from MultisourceHtmlFormatter import CodeLexerTuple
from pygments.lexers.functional import HaskellLexer
from pygments.lexers.jvm import JavaLexer
from MultisourceHtmlFormatter import highlightMultiSource

tuple = CodeLexerTuple(open('Quicksort.hs').read(), HaskellLexer(stripnl=False), 
                           'Haskell Quicksort')
tuple2 = CodeLexerTuple(open('Quicksort.java').read(), JavaLexer(),
                     'Java Quicksort')
result = highlightMultiSource((tuple,tuple2), MultiSourceFormatter(
    linenos=True, cssclass="source", noclasses=True, showtitles=True))
open("output.html", mode="w").write("<html><body>" + result + "<body></html>")

The workhorse method highlightMultiSource takes a tuple of CodeLexerTuple instances as well as a MultiSourceFormatter into account. A CodeLexerTuple instance is needed for each sourcefile to display and contains the (1) actual sourcecode, (2) a lexer instance from Pygments, and (3) optionally the title of the sourcecode displayed above it. The MultiSourceFormatter is instantiated using flags controlling the output generation. Flags are:

'lineseparator'
    Default '\n'. Lineseparator used in the source code.

'tabwidth'
    Default 2. Denotes the number of spaces a tab is formatted as.
    
'escapetable' 
    A map containing associations from characters to html encodings.
    
'noclasses'
    Default False. If True then only class information are included in the
    generated tags and the html file containing the formatted output needs
    to import a css file with the needed css definitions.
    
'classprefix'
    Default ''. Prefix for all used css class.
    
'cssclass'
    Default 'highlight'. Prefix for the css class used for the top level
    <table> tag generated by this formatter.

'stylebg'
    Default True. True denotes that the individual source codes' background
    is colored alternating using the css classes bgcoloreven, bgcolorodd.

'stylebg'
    Default True. True and stylebg == True denote that the individual 
    source codes' background is colored alternating using the css classes 
    bgcoloreven, bgcolorodd, bgcoloreven2, bgcolorodd2.
    
'linecolwidth'
    Default 3. Denotes percentage of space relative to table width, 
    the line number column is consuming.
    
'tablewidth'
    Default 100%. Denotes the html-conform width the generated table
    consumes within the embedding element.
    
'showtitles'
    Default False. True denotes that above every source code column a title
    is displayed with css class td-title wrapped in a <td> tag. the title
    is accompanied with the source code
    
'additionalstyles'
    Formatting css classes for aspects solely related to this formatter 
    rather than tokens of the source code. Currently the following
    css classes are of interest:
        lineno, td-title, bgcoloreven, bgcoloreven2, bgcolorodd,
        bgcolorodd2
        
'fontsize'
    Default: 1.2em. Denotes the font size used for formatting any token.
    
'fontfamily'
    Default: Courier. Denotes the font family used for formatting any token.
