KateSyntax.js

This is an attempt at using the Kate syntax highlighting definitions for a JavaScript highlighter.

HowTo

Conversion

node bin/convert will convert the definitions for all the languages, and store them in syntax/.

<script>
window.KateSyntax = {
    base: 'js/syntax' /* This is a path to your syntax/ directory */,
    debugTime: false,
    debugTrace: false
};
(function() {
    var script = document.createElement('script');
    script.src = KateSyntax.base+'/KateSyntax.js';
    script.onload = function() {
        // As an example, we're highlighting every <pre lang=...> (<code lang=...> for inline) element.
        var elements = [].slice.call(document.getElementsByTagName('pre')).concat([].slice.call(document.getElementsByTagName('code')));
        elements.forEach(function(el) {
            if(el.attributes.lang)
                KateSyntax.highlight({file: 'no-file-name.'+el.attributes.lang.value}, el.textContent.trim(), function(container) {
                    container.className = 'highlighted highlighted-'+(el.tagName === 'CODE' ? 'inline' : 'block');
                    el.parentNode.replaceChild(container, el);
                });
        });
    };
    document.head.appendChild(script);
})();
</script>

Outdated: This is a simple editor (using KateSyntax.js for highlighting).
