shitty-pygments-chroma-wrapper

Pygments wrapper for Chroma: Use chroma lexers in Pygments, when Chroma is not an option.

How to use

1. Have Chroma installed: chroma must be available in your PATH, before installing this plugin.
2. Install this plugin via pip:

   $ pip install git+https://github.com/tobb10001/shitty-pygments-chroma-wrapper

3. Check your installation with pygments -L. All Chroma lexers should be displayed.
4. Profit.

How it works

shitty-pygments-chroma-wrapper is a Pygments plugin. During installation, it calls chroma --list and parses its output in order to generate a list of all available lexers in order to generate the entry points for Pygments.

During execution this same list is used to create one Lexer class per Chroma lexer, where Pygments expects them due to the entry points. When this classes get_tokens_unprocessed method is called, it invokes Chroma with the --json option to let chroma generate a list of tokens. Those tokens are then mapped to Pygments tokens and returned.
