71Htmlfontify provides a means of converting individual Emacs buffers,
72source files, or entire source trees to html, preserving formatting
73and Emacs colorization / syntax highlighting as much as possible
74through careful application of CSS stylesheets and html tags.
75
76It can also turn instances of functions, methods and (for some
77languages) variables and other constructs and items into links
78to their definitions, and create an index file (or files) of
79all such symbols, also linked to their points of definition.
80
81Htmlfontify also provides several customization items, which should
82allow it to mesh more-or-less seamlessly with various templating or
83publishing systems (in the event, for instance, that you don't want
84to produce the html pages directly).

90Htmlfontify can be used both interactively and as part of another
91elisp function. If you're running it in a modern Emacs, it will also
92run when attached to a terminal (i.e., without X) or even when in
93batch mode.

107
108Htmlfontify provides the following interactive functions:
109
110@table @code
111@item htmlfontify-buffer
112@findex htmlfontify-buffer
113@anchor{htmlfontify-buffer}
114
115@lisp
116
117(htmlfontify-buffer &optional @var{srcdir} @var{file})
118@end lisp
119
120Create a new buffer, named for the current buffer + a .html extension,
121containing an inline CSS-stylesheet and formatted CSS-markup html that
122reproduces the look of the current Emacs buffer as closely as possible.
123
124``Dangerous'' characters in the existing buffer are turned into html
125entities, so you should even be able to do html-within-html fontified
126display.
127
128You should, however, note that random control or non-ASCII characters
129such as ^L (\x0c) or ยค (\xa4) won't get mapped yet.
130
131If the @var{srcdir} and @var{file} arguments are set, lookup etags
132derived entries in the @ref{hfy-tags-cache} and add html anchors
133and hyperlinks as appropriate.
134
135@item htmlfontify-run-etags
136@findex htmlfontify-run-etags
137@anchor{htmlfontify-run-etags}
138
139@lisp
140
141(htmlfontify-run-etags @var{srcdir})
142@end lisp
143
144Load the etags cache for @var{srcdir}. See @ref{hfy-load-tags-cache}.
145
146@item htmlfontify-copy-and-link-dir
147@findex htmlfontify-copy-and-link-dir
148@anchor{htmlfontify-copy-and-link-dir}

151
152(htmlfontify-copy-and-link-dir @var{srcdir} @var{dstdir} &optional @var{f-ext} @var{l-ext})
153@end lisp
154
155Trawl @var{srcdir} and write fontified-and-hyperlinked output in
156@var{dstdir}. @var{f-ext} and @var{l-ext} specify values for
157@ref{hfy-extn} and @ref{hfy-link-extn}.
158
159You may also want to set @ref{hfy-page-header} and @ref{hfy-page-footer}.
160
161@item htmlfontify-load-rgb-file
162@findex htmlfontify-load-rgb-file

164
165@lisp
166
167(htmlfontify-load-rgb-file &optional @var{file})
168@end lisp
169
170Load an X11 style rgb.txt file (search @code{hfy-rgb-load-path} if
171@var{file} is not specified).
172
173Note that this is not necessary if all you want is the standard X11
174(XFree86 4.1.0) color name -> rgb triplet mapping. Htmlfontify has
175a copy built in, for use when it cannot contact an X server.
176
177Loads the variable @code{hfy-rgb-txt-color-map}, which is used by
178@ref{hfy-fallback-color-values}.
179
180@item htmlfontify-unload-rgb-file
181@findex htmlfontify-unload-rgb-file

206
207@lisp
208
209(hfy-face-to-style @var{fn})
210@end lisp
211
212Take @var{fn}, a font or @code{defface} style font specification,
213(as returned by @code{face-attr-construct} or @ref{hfy-face-attr-for-class})
214and return a @ref{hfy-style-assoc}.
215
216See also: @ref{hfy-face-to-style-i}, @ref{hfy-flatten-style}.
217
218@item hfy-fallback-color-values

221
222@lisp
223
224(hfy-fallback-color-values @var{color-string})
225@end lisp
226
227Use a fallback method for obtaining the rgb values for a color.
228If @ref{htmlfontify-load-rgb-file} has been called, it uses the
229color map specified, otherwise it uses Htmlfontify's built in map.
230
231@item hfy-combined-face-spec
232@findex hfy-combined-face-spec
233@anchor{hfy-combined-face-spec}
234
235@lisp
236
237(hfy-combined-face-spec @var{face})
238@end lisp
239
240Return a @code{defface} style alist of possible specifications for
241@var{face}, with any entries resulting from user customization
242(@code{custom-set-faces}) taking precedence.
243
244See also: @ref{hfy-default-face-def}

255Return a regex that matches @var{string} as the first @code{match-string},
256with non word characters on either side (vaguely emulating the perl @code{\b}
257regex atom).

268Emacs's fontification is designed for interactive use. As such, it sometimes
269does things like deferring fontification until a section of the buffer is
270exposed and rendered, or until Emacs is idle for a while. Sometimes, in
271non-interactive circumstances, or if it can't see X, it doesn't bother
272with some of the harder stuff. While this is all great from the perspective
273of a user waiting for Emacs to load a 20000 line file and colorize it,
274it's a pain from the point of view from non-interactive code. This function
275lies, cheats, steals and generally bullies Emacs into fontifying a buffer
276from start to finish, with all the extra frills, whether it thinks it needs
277to or not. Oh yes: it operates on the current buffer.
278
279@item hfy-link-style-string
280@findex hfy-link-style-string
281@anchor{hfy-link-style-string}
282
283@lisp
284
285(hfy-link-style-string @var{style-string})
286@end lisp
287
288Replace the end of a CSS style declaration @var{style-string} with the contents
289of the variable @ref{hfy-src-doc-link-style}, removing text matching the
290regex @ref{hfy-src-doc-link-unstyle} first, if necessary.
291
292
293@item hfy-prepare-index-i
294@findex hfy-prepare-index-i
295@anchor{hfy-prepare-index-i}

298
299(hfy-prepare-index-i @var{srcdir} @var{dstdir} @var{filename} &optional @var{stub} @var{map})
300@end lisp
301
302Prepare a tags index buffer for @var{srcdir}.
303@ref{hfy-tags-cache} must already have an entry for @var{srcdir} for
304this to work. @ref{hfy-page-header}, @ref{hfy-page-footer},
305@ref{hfy-link-extn} and @ref{hfy-extn} all play a part here.
306
307If @var{stub} is set, prepare an (appropriately named) index buffer
308specifically for entries beginning with @var{stub}.
309
310If @var{map} is set, use that instead of @ref{hfy-tags-cache}.
311
312@item hfy-compile-stylesheet
313@findex hfy-compile-stylesheet
314@anchor{hfy-compile-stylesheet}
315
316@lisp
317
318(hfy-compile-stylesheet)
319@end lisp
320
321Trawl the current buffer, construct and return a @ref{hfy-sheet-assoc}.
322
323@item hfy-css-name
324@findex hfy-css-name
325@anchor{hfy-css-name}
326
327@lisp
328
329(hfy-css-name @var{fn})
330@end lisp
331
332Strip some of the boring bits from a font-name and return a CSS style
333name. If @var{fn} is a @code{defface} attribute list, either construct
334a name for it, store it in the cache, and return it, or just fetch it
335from the cache if it's already there.
336
337@item hfy-make-directory
338@findex hfy-make-directory
339@anchor{hfy-make-directory}
340
341@lisp
342
343(hfy-make-directory @var{dir})
344@end lisp
345
346Approximate equivalent of @code{mkdir -p @var{dir}}.
347
348@item hfy-triplet
349@findex hfy-triplet
350@anchor{hfy-triplet}
351
352@lisp
353
354(hfy-triplet @var{color})
355@end lisp
356
357Takes a color name (string) and return a CSS rgb(R, G, B) triplet string.
358Uses the definition of ``white'' to map the numbers to the 0-255 range, so
359if you've redefined white, (especially if you've redefined it to have
360a triplet member lower than that of the color you are processing,
361strange things may happen).
362
363@item hfy-default-footer
364@findex hfy-default-footer
365@anchor{hfy-default-footer}
366
367@lisp

376@anchor{hfy-list-files}
377
378@lisp
379
380(hfy-list-files @var{directory})
381@end lisp
382
383Return a list of files under @var{directory}.
384Strips any leading @samp{./} from each filename.
385
386@item hfy-color-vals
387@findex hfy-color-vals
388@anchor{hfy-color-vals}
389
390@lisp
391
392(hfy-color-vals @var{color})
393@end lisp
394
395Where @var{color} is a color name or #XXXXXX style triplet, return a list of
3963 (16 bit) rgb values for said color. If a window system is unavailable,
397calls @ref{hfy-fallback-color-values}.
398
399@item hfy-href-stub
400@findex hfy-href-stub
401@anchor{hfy-href-stub}
402
403@lisp
404
405(hfy-href-stub @var{this-file} @var{def-files} @var{tag})
406@end lisp
407
408Return an href stub for a tag href: if @var{def-files} (list of files
409containing definitions for the tag in question) contains only one entry,
410the href should link straight to that file. Otherwise, the link should
411be to the index file.
412
413We are not yet concerned with the file extensions/tag line number and
414so on at this point.
415
416If @ref{hfy-split-index} is set, and the href will be to an index file
417rather than a source file, append a @samp{.X} to @ref{hfy-index-file}, where
418@samp{X} is the uppercased first character of @var{tag}.
419
420See also: @ref{hfy-relstub}, @ref{hfy-index-file}.
421
422@item hfy-line-number
423@findex hfy-line-number
424@anchor{hfy-line-number}
425
426@lisp
427
428(hfy-line-number)
429@end lisp
430
431Returns the line number of the point in the current buffer.
432
433@item hfy-merge-adjacent-spans
434@findex hfy-merge-adjacent-spans
435@anchor{hfy-merge-adjacent-spans}
436
437@lisp
438
439(hfy-merge-adjacent-spans @var{face-map})
440@end lisp
441
442Where @var{face-map} is a @ref{hfy-facemap-assoc} for the current buffer,
443this function merges adjacent style blocks which are of the same value
444and are separated by nothing more interesting than whitespace.
445
446@code{<span class="foo">narf</span> <span class="foo">brain</span>}
447
448(as interpreted from @var{face-map}) would become:
449
450@code{<span class="foo">narf brain</span>}
451
452Returns a modified copy of @var{face-map} (also a @ref{hfy-facemap-assoc}).
453
454@item hfy-mark-tag-names
455@findex hfy-mark-tag-names
456@anchor{hfy-mark-tag-names}
457
458@lisp
459
460(hfy-mark-tag-names @var{srcdir} @var{file})
461@end lisp
462
463Mark tags in @var{file} (lookup @var{srcdir} in @ref{hfy-tags-cache}) with the
464@code{hfy-anchor} property, with a value of @samp{tag.line-number}.
465

468@anchor{hfy-weight}
469
470@lisp
471

479@anchor{hfy-size}
480
481@lisp
482
483(hfy-size @var{height})

485
486Derive a CSS font-size specifier from an Emacs font @code{:height} attribute.
487Does not cope with the case where height is a function to be applied to
488the height of the underlying font.
489
490@item hfy-default-header

515
516@lisp
517
518(hfy-mark-tag-hrefs @var{srcdir} @var{file})

520
521Mark href start points with the @code{hfy-link} property (value: href string).
522
523Mark href end points with the @code{hfy-endl} property (value @code{t}).
524
525Avoid overlapping links, and mark links in descending length of
526tag name in order to prevent subtags from usurping supertags;
527e.g., ``term'' for ``terminal'').
528

821from 0.18 onwards, each font attribute list is scored, and the
822non-conflicting list with the highest score is returned. (A specification
823with a class of @code{t} is considered to match any class you specify.

1259@cindex variables (customization)
1260
1261Htmlfontify provides the following variable and customization entries:
1262
1263@table @code
1264@comment AUTOGENERATED BLOCK
1265
1266@item hfy-link-style-fun
1267@vindex hfy-link-style-fun
1268@anchor{hfy-link-style-fun}
1269
1270Set this to a function, which will be called with one argument
1271(a @samp{@{ foo: bar; @dots{}@}} CSS style-string)---it should return a copy of
1272its argument, altered so as to make any changes you want made for text which
1273is a hyperlink, in addition to being in the class to which that style would
1274normally be applied.
1275
1276@item hfy-html-quote-regex
1277@vindex hfy-html-quote-regex
1278@anchor{hfy-html-quote-regex}
1279
1280@c FIXME: the cross-reference below looks ugly
1281Regex to match (with a single back-reference per match) strings in HTML
1282which should be quoted with @ref{hfy-html-quote}
1283(and @pxref{hfy-html-quote-map}) to make them safe.
1284
1285@item hfy-page-footer
1286@vindex hfy-page-footer
1287@anchor{hfy-page-footer}
1288
1289As @ref{hfy-page-header}, but generates the output footer
1290(and takes only 1 argument, the filename).
1291
1292@item hfy-display-class
1293@vindex hfy-display-class
1294@anchor{hfy-display-class}
1295
1296Display class to use to determine which display class to use when
1297calculating a face's attributes. This is useful when, for example, you
1298are running Emacs on a tty or in batch mode, and want Htmlfontify to have
1299access to the face spec you would use if you were connected to an X display.
1300
1301Some valid class specification elements are:
1302
1303@lisp
1304 '(class color)
1305 '(class grayscale)
1306 '(background dark)
1307 '(background light)
1308 '(type x-toolkit)
1309 '(type tty)
1310 '(type motif)
1311 '(type lucid)
1312@end lisp
1313
1314Multiple values for a tag may be combined, to indicate that any one or more
1315of these values in the specification key constitutes a match, eg:
1316
1317'((class color grayscale) (type tty)) would match any of:
1318@lisp
1319 '((class color))
1320 '((class grayscale))
1321 '((class color grayscale)))
1322 '((class color foo))
1323 '((type tty))
1324 '((type tty) (class color))
1325@end lisp
1326and so on.
1327
1328@item hfy-page-header
1329@vindex hfy-page-header
1330@anchor{hfy-page-header}
1331
1332Function called with two arguments (the filename relative to the top
1333level source directory being etag'd and fontified), and a string containing
1334the @samp{<style>@dots{}</style>} text to embed in the document---the string
1335returned will be used as the header for the htmlfontified version of
1336the source file.
1337
1338See also: @ref{hfy-page-footer}
1339
1340@item hfy-src-doc-link-style
1341@vindex hfy-src-doc-link-style
1342@anchor{hfy-src-doc-link-style}
1343
1344String to add to the @samp{<style> a} variant of an Htmlfontify CSS class.
1345
1346@item hfy-split-index
1347@vindex hfy-split-index
1348@anchor{hfy-split-index}
1349
1350Whether or not to split the index @ref{hfy-index-file} alphabetically
1351on the first letter of each tag. Useful when the index would otherwise
1352be large and take a long time to render or be difficult to navigate.
1353
1354@item hfy-find-cmd
1355@vindex hfy-find-cmd
1356@anchor{hfy-find-cmd}
1357
1358``find'' command used to harvest a list of files to attempt to fontify.
1359
1360@item hfy-extn
1361@vindex hfy-extn
1362@anchor{hfy-extn}
1363
1364File extension used for output files.
1365
1366@item hfy-default-face-def
1367@vindex hfy-default-face-def
1368@anchor{hfy-default-face-def}
1369
1370Fallback @code{defface} specification for the face @code{default}, used
1371when @ref{hfy-display-class} has been set (the normal Htmlfontify way of
1372extracting potentially non-current face information doesn't necessarily
1373work for @code{default}).
1374
1375For example, I customize this to:
1376
1377@lisp
1378((t :background "black" :foreground "white" :family "misc-fixed"))
1379@end lisp
1380
1381@item hfy-init-kludge-hooks
1382@vindex hfy-init-kludge-hooks
1383@anchor{hfy-init-kludge-hooks}
1384
1385List of functions to call when starting htmlfontify-buffer to do any
1386kludging necessary to get highlighting modes to behave as you want, even
1387when not running under a window system.
1388
1389@item hfy-shell-file-name
1390@vindex hfy-shell-file-name
1391@anchor{hfy-shell-file-name}
1392
1393Should be set to a Bourne compatible shell, which will be invoked
1394for the more complex shell interactions needed by Htmlfontify.
1395Currently this is only required/used when using GNU etags, see
1396@ref{hfy-etags-cmd-alist} for details.
1397
1398@item hfy-optimisations
1399@vindex hfy-optimisations
1400@anchor{hfy-optimisations}
1401
1402Optimizations to turn on. So far, the following have been implemented:
1403
1404@table @option
1405@item merge-adjacent-tags
1406If two (or more) span tags are adjacent, identical and separated by nothing
1407more than whitespace, they will be merged into one span.
1408
1409@item zap-comment-links
1410Suppress hyperlinking of tags found in comments.
1411
1412@item zap-string-links
1413Suppress hyperlinking of tags found in strings.
1414
1415@item div-wrapper
1416Add @samp{<div class="default"> </div>} tags around the fontified body.
1417(Some people like this because they cut and paste the html into
1418a page with different colors than the fontified code.)
1419
1420@item keep-overlays
1421Preserve overlay highlighting (c.f. @code{ediff} or @code{goo-font-lock})
1422as well as basic faces. Can result in extremely verbose highlighting
1423if there are many overlays (as is the case with @code{goo-font-lock}).
1424
1425@end table
1426
1427And the following are planned but not yet available:
1428
1429@table @option
1430@item kill-context-leak
1431Suppress hyperlinking between files highlighted by different modes.
1432
1433@end table
1434
1435Note: like compiler optimizations, these optimize the @emph{output} of
1436the code,
1437not the processing of the source itself, and are therefore likely to slow
1438Htmlfontify down, at least a little. Except for skip-refontification,
1439which can never slow you down, but may result in incomplete fontification.
1440
1441@item hfy-src-doc-link-unstyle
1442@vindex hfy-src-doc-link-unstyle
1443@anchor{hfy-src-doc-link-unstyle}
1444
1445Regex to remove from the @samp{<style> a} variant of an Htmlfontify CSS class.
1446
1447@item hfy-link-extn
1448@vindex hfy-link-extn
1449@anchor{hfy-link-extn}
1450
1451File extension used for href links---useful where the Htmlfontify
1452output files are going to be processed again, with a resulting change
1453in file extension. If @code{nil}, then any code using this should fall back
1454to @ref{hfy-extn}.
1455
1456@item hfy-istext-command
1457@vindex hfy-istext-command
1458@anchor{hfy-istext-command}
1459
1460Command to run with the name of a file, to see whether it is a text file
1461or not. The command should emit a string containing the word @samp{text} if
1462the file is a text file, and a string not containing @samp{text} otherwise.
1463
1464@item hfy-etags-cmd-alist
1465@vindex hfy-etags-cmd-alist
1466@anchor{hfy-etags-cmd-alist}
1467
1468An alist of possible shell commands that will generate etags output that
1469Htmlfontify can use. @samp{%s} will be replaced by @ref{hfy-etags-bin}.
1470
1471@item hfy-etags-bin
1472@vindex hfy-etags-bin
1473@anchor{hfy-etags-bin}
1474
1475The location of the etags binary (we begin by assuming it's in your path).
1476
1477Note that if etags is not in your path, you will need to alter the shell
1478commands in @ref{hfy-etags-cmd-alist}.
1479
1480[As of version 0.17, this requirement has been removed: it should
1481 all just work(tm).]
1482
1483@item hfy-etags-cmd
1484@vindex hfy-etags-cmd
1485@anchor{hfy-etags-cmd}
1486
1487An etags shell command to run in the source directory to generate a tags
1488file for the whole source tree from there on down. The command should emit
1489the etags output on standard output.
1490
1491Two canned commands are provided---they drive Emacs's etags and
1492exuberant-ctags's etags respectively.
1493
1494@item hfy-etag-regex
1495@vindex hfy-etag-regex
1496@anchor{hfy-etag-regex}
1497
1498Regex used to parse an etags entry: must have 3 subexps, corresponding,
1499in order, to:
1500
1501@enumerate
1502@item
1503The tag
1504@item
1505The line
1506@item
1507The character (point) at which the tag occurs
1508@end enumerate
1509
1510@item hfy-index-file
1511@vindex hfy-index-file
1512@anchor{hfy-index-file}
1513
1514Name (sans extension) of the index file produced during
1515fontification-and-hyperlinking.
1516
1517@item hfy-instance-file
1518@vindex hfy-instance-file
1519@anchor{hfy-instance-file}
1520
1521Name (sans extension) of the tag usage index file produced during
1522fontification-and-hyperlinking.
1523
1524@item hfy-html-quote-map
1525@vindex hfy-html-quote-map
1526@anchor{hfy-html-quote-map}
1527
1528An alist of character -> entity mappings used to make the text html-safe.

1537Htmlfontify has a couple of external requirements:
1538
1539@itemize @bullet
1540
1541@item
1542GNU Emacs 20.7+ or 21.1+
1543
1544Other versions may work---these have been used successfully by the
1545author. If you intend to use Htmlfontify in batch mode, 21.1+ is
1546pretty much required. The author does not know if XEmacs, NTemacs,
1547or J.Random Emacs will run Htmlfontify, but reports/patches/bags of
1548money are always welcome.
1549
1550@item
1551A copy of etags (exuberant-ctags or GNU etags). Htmlfontify attempts
1552to autodetect the version you have and customize itself accordingly,
1553but you should be able to override this.
1554
1555See: @ref{Customization}
1556
1557@item
1558A copy of find (e.g., GNU find) that provides the @code{-path} predicate.
1559
1560You may be able to work around this with a suitable clever shell
1561command and the customization entry: @ref{hfy-find-cmd}
1562
1563@item
1564A copy of sed (e.g., GNU sed).
1565
1566@item
1567A copy of the @code{file} command.
