HsColour - generate colourised output for Haskell code
SYNOPSIS
HsColour options [file.hs]
DESCRIPTION
HsColour is a program that colourises Haskell code. It currently has six output formats: ANSI terminal codes, HTML 3.2 with <font> tags,
HTML 4.01 with CSS, XHTML 1.0 with inline CSS styling, LaTeX, and mIRC chat client codes.
Flag reference:
-version
Print out version information.
-help A rudimentary help message.
-oOUTPUT
Write the output to the specified file.
-tty Write output with ANSI terminal code colours (this is the default).
-html Write output in HTML 3.2 format with font tags.
-css Write output in HTML 4.01 format with CSS styling.
-icss Write output in XHTML 1.0 format with inline CSS styling.
-latex Write output as LaTeX source code.
-mirc Output for IRC.
-lit When outputting HTML etc, inform HsColour that the input Haskell code is Literate Haskell.
-lit-tex
When outputting LaTeX, inform HsColour that the input Haskell code is Literate Haskell.
-anchor
In HTML mode add named anchors.
-partial
Create output fragments (ie omit the HTML DOCTYPE header, CSS stylesheet link, or LaTeX prologue) for embedding in a larger docu-
ment.
-print-css
Print out the default CSS definitions, in case you lose the .css file.
-nolit Turn off -lit mode.
-noanchor
Turn off -anchor mode.
-nopartial
Turn off -partial mode.

CSS::Tiny - Read/Write .css files with as little code as possible
SYNOPSIS
# In your .css file
H1 { color: blue }
H2 { color: red; font-family: Arial }
.this, .that { color: yellow }
# In your program
use CSS::Tiny;
# Create a CSS stylesheet
my $CSS = CSS::Tiny->new();
# Open a CSS stylesheet
$CSS = CSS::Tiny->read( 'style.css' );
# Reading properties
my $header_color = $CSS->{H1}->{color};
my $header2_hashref = $CSS->{H2};
my $this_color = $CSS->{'.this'}->{color};
my $that_color = $CSS->{'.that'}->{color};
# Changing styles and properties
$CSS->{'.newstyle'} = { color => '#FFFFFF' }; # Add a style
$CSS->{H1}->{color} = 'black'; # Change a property
delete $CSS->{H2}; # Delete a style
# Save a CSS stylesheet
$CSS->write( 'style.css' );
# Get the CSS as a <style>...</style> tag
$CSS->html;
DESCRIPTION
"CSS::Tiny" is a perl class to read and write .css stylesheets with as little code as possible, reducing load time and memory overhead.
CSS.pm requires about 2.6 meg or ram to load, which is a large amount of overhead if you only want to do trivial things. Memory usage is
normally scoffed at in Perl, but in my opinion should be at least kept in mind.
This module is primarily for reading and writing simple files, and anything we write shouldn't need to have documentation/comments. If you
need something with more power, move up to CSS.pm. With the increasing complexity of CSS, this is becoming more common, but many situations
can still live with simple CSS files.
CSS Feature Support
"CSS::Tiny" supports grouped styles of the form "this, that { color: blue }" correctly when reading, ungrouping them into the hash
structure. However, it will not restore the grouping should you write the file back out. In this case, an entry in the original file of the
form
H1, H2 { color: blue }
would become
H1 { color: blue }
H2 { color: blue }
"CSS::Tiny" handles nested styles of the form "P EM { color: red }" in reads and writes correctly, making the property available in the
form
$CSS->{'P EM'}->{color}
"CSS::Tiny" ignores comments of the form "/* comment */" on read correctly, however these comments will not be written back out to the
file.
CSS FILE SYNTAX
Files are written in a relatively human-orientated form, as follows:
H1 {
color: blue;
}
.this {
color: red;
font-size: 10px;
}
P EM {
color: yellow;
}
When reading and writing, all property descriptors, for example "color" and "font-size" in the example above, are converted to lower case.
As an example, take the following CSS.
P {
Font-Family: Verdana;
}
To get the value 'Verdana' from the object $CSS, you should reference the key "$CSS->{P}->{font-family}".
METHODS
new
The constructor "new" creates and returns an empty "CSS::Tiny" object.
read $filename
The "read" constructor reads a CSS stylesheet, and returns a new "CSS::Tiny" object containing the properties in the file.
Returns the object on success, or "undef" on error.
read_string $string
The "read_string" constructor reads a CSS stylesheet from a string.
Returns the object on success, or "undef" on error.
clone
The "clone" method creates an identical copy of an existing "CSS::Tiny" object.
write_string
Generates the stylesheet for the object and returns it as a string.
write
The "write $filename" generates the stylesheet for the properties, and writes it to disk. Returns true on success. Returns "undef" on
error.
html
The "html" method generates the CSS, but wrapped in a "style" HTML tag, so that it can be dropped directly onto a HTML page.
xhtml
The "html" method generates the CSS, but wrapped in a "style" XHTML tag, so that it can be dropped directly onto an XHTML page.
errstr
When an error occurs, you can retrieve the error message either from the $CSS::Tiny::errstr variable, or using the "errstr" method.
CAVEATS
CSS Rule Order
While the order of rules in CSS is important, this is one of the features that is sacrificed to keep things small and dependency-free. If
you need to preserve order yourself, we recommend that you upgrade to the more powerful CSS module.
If this is not possible in your case, alternatively it can be done with the help of another module such as Tie::IxHash:
my $css = CSS::Tiny->new;
tie %$css, 'Tie::IxHash';
$css->read('style.css');
Note: You will also need to remember to add the additional dependency to your code or module in this case.
