eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight-chroma

eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlighting-chroma

A module for handling syntax highlighting in Eleventy using Chroma; a syntax highlighter written in Go. There is no browser/client JavaScript required, the highlight transformations are all done at build-time.

I am making using of the chroma-highlight NPM package to include EXChroma support. (It handles downloading the required binary for the platform you are working on).

This module/plugin used the 11ty plugin eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight as its basis.

Finally, I use the JSDom package to add pre and code attributes to the syntax highlighted code.

Supported Args in Code Blocks

The first argument is always expected to be the language, at present there is no bugout/fail if a language is not provided first. (Nor in the original plugin)

For example

```js
```

For Markdown, separate arguments with a /, this seems to be hard coded somewhere in 11ty itself. I haven't a workaround yet.

```js/1,3:6
```

For liquid and njk you can use either \ or spaces ( ) to separate the arguments.

Currently Supported Arguments:

• lineNumbers will add line numbers starting from 1 in the code block.
• lineNumbersStyle if table is used, then code block will use a table to make it easier to drag and select the code. i.e lineNumberStyle=table
• lineNumbersStart the number to start the line number count from. i.e lineNumbersStart=200
• number or number,number or number:number or number,rangeStartNumber:rangeEndNumber or number,rangeStartNumber-rangeEndNumber to specify a line or lines to highlight. i.e 1, 1,3, 3:6, or 1,3:6, or 2,4-6. NOTE if you use lineNumbersStart then the specified numbers must be relative to that (so lineNumbersStart=200, then use 204 to highlight line 204)
• tabWidth the number of spaces to replace tabs with, default is 8. Overrides value in eleventy config if set.

Supported options in eleventy config

You can specify some arguments in the options object in .eleventy.js config. Options are considered defaults, and can be overridden by codeblock arguments.TODO

Example of options object

eleventyConfig.addPlugin(syntaxHighlight, {
    theme: "monokai",
    lineNumbers: false,
    highlightStyle: "bg:#943011",
    tabWidth: 12,

    lexerOverrides: {
      njk: "vue",
      liquid: "swift",
    },
    preAttributes: {
      tabindex: 0,
      testing: "ZX Spectrum Forever",
      blargh: "Grrr Argh",
      style: "border: purple 5px dashed",
    },
    codeAttributes: { test: "123" },
  });

Theme can be set to one of these themes. If no theme is specified, then monokai is used.

• lineNumbers will add line numbers starting from 1 for each code block.
• lineNumbersStyle if table is used, then code block will use a table to make it easier to drag and select the code.
• lexerOverrides a key value pair, for instance liquid: "vue" will mean that when the code comes across the language liquid it will use the vue lexer instead. Useful for rendering code blocks that Chroma doesn't support out of the box.
• tabWidth the number of spaces to replace tabs with, default used by library is 8.
• highlightStyle allows you to override the theme's highlight color with one you specify. highlightStyle takes a string in the form of bg:#XXXXXX where xxxxxx is a either a 3 or 6 digit color code eg bg:#943011

TO DO

• [✅] Support .liquid files
• [✅] Add passed in code and pre atributes into returned html from chroma
• [✅] Add other arguments that chroma can take (--html-tab-width, --html-highlight-style)
• [] Add testing
• [] Add improve regex for line numbers
• [] Add --html-linkable-lines
• [] Investigate if possible to use a bridge to call the Go Library directly from JavaScript rather than using the libary binary.

Example output

Highlight line 1 and 3

```js/1,3
let multilineString = `
  this is the first line
  this is the middle line
  this is the last line
`;
```

Line numbers shown and highlighting range of lines 3 through 6

```js/3:6/lineNumbers
let multilineString = `
  this is the first line
  this is the second line
  this is the third line
  this is the fourth line
  this is the fifth line
  this is the sixth line
  this is the seventh line
  this is the eighth line
`;
```

Line numbers shown, line numbers set to start at 200, and highlighting range of lines 202 through 204

```js/202:204/lineNumbers/table/lineNumbersStart=200
let multilineString = `
  this is the first line
  this is the second line
  this is the third line
  this is the fourth line
  this is the fifth line
  this is the sixth line
  this is the seventh line
  this is the eighth line
`;
```

Available Lexers

Chroma provides highlighting for the following. Note you can use the lexer name itself, for instance ActionScript or its aliases as or actionscript.

NOTE If you spell the lexer incorrectly, or specify a language not understood by Chroma, then the build will fail. This was an intentional choice.

Caveats

At present Chroma doesn't have support for highlighting njk or liquid code. As an alternative you can use vue in your documents, or use lexerOverride in .eleventy.js to specify a different lexer to use if njk or liquid are found.

Using this plugin is slower than either the offical highlighting plugin, or the highlightjs plugin. More below.

Thanks

I am stepping on the shoulders of others.

This plugin is based off of the official eleventy-plugin-syntaxhighlight plugin by Zach Leatherman et al. I modified its code to work with the Chroma highlighter.

I pull in the chroma-highlight NPM package by krymel. It downloads the Chroma highlighter binary for the platform you are on, and makes it available through a function to call where you pass in the formatter to use, the language, and any options.

Finally the Chroma Highlighter itself, by Alec Thomas. Tons of languages, themes, and its blazing fast. (Except when used this way)

BENCH Results

At the moment, this plugin is the slowest by a factor of 7-8.

offical: Wrote 5 files in 0.09 seconds (v1.0.2)
highlightjs: Wrote 5 files in 0.11 seconds (v1.0.1)
chroma: Wrote 5 files in 0.74 seconds (v1.0.2)

Each block of code to be highlighted is a call to the chroma executable, and takes about 10-20ms. Rendering a whole page using the executable itself from the command line takes roughly 0.030 seconds (or 30ms) on an M1 MacBook Air.
