Re: [viewvc-users] Support for 'highlight' in ViewVC 1.1.12?

John,

'highlight' integration remains (and will remain) in all the ViewVC 1.0.x
versions.

I can't claim any particular knowledge about how to amend Pygments' lexer
collection.  Reading the page you mentioned, I'm not convinced that it's as
easy as dropping in a new Python module in a particular directory.  At a
minimum, there's a recommendation to run the _mapping.py script found in the
pygments lexers directory.  That script's comments seem to confirm as much:

$ head /var/lib/python-support/python2.6/pygments/lexers/_mapping.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
"""
    pygments.lexers._mapping
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Lexer mapping defintions. This file is generated by itself. Everytime
    you change something on a builtin lexer defintion, run this script from
    the lexers folder to update it.

    Do not alter the LEXERS dictionary by hand.
$

That said, I would strongly suggest that you work to improve the existing
lexer rather than replace it.  And then, donate your improvements back to
the Pygment open source community so others can benefit, too!
