Sinatra helper to parse markdown with syntax highlighting like the pros
Renders markdown via redcarpet with syntax highlighting thanks to pygments.rb.
Able to use fenced code blocks like github, and includes a default pygments stylesheet.
gem install glorify
or with bundler
# Gemfile
source :rubygems
gem 'sinatra'
gem 'glorify'
glorify comes with a tilt template for rendering markdown.
this allows you to override the default markdown renderer and use redcarpet2 with pygments.rb to highlight any code blocks within your view.
in order to do this, you will need to prefer the template class.
Tilt.prefer Sinatra::Glorify::Template
then any views that render markdown
will use Glorify::Template instead.
register Sinatra::Glorify
get '/' do
markdown :a_view_with_code_blocks
end
if you want to stick with your current renderer and just render some code
blocks within your view, use the glorify
helper method.
simply require 'glorify'
to use the helper with a classic style sinatra app.
require 'sinatra'
require 'glorify'
require 'erb'
get '/' do
@example = File.open("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/example.md", "rb").read
erb :index
end
you'll need to register Sinatra::Glorify
in your sub-classed app, along with
require 'glorify'
, to use with a modular style sinatra app.
require 'sinatra/base'
require 'glorify'
require 'erb'
class SubclassedApp < Sinatra::Base
register Sinatra::Glorify
get '/' do
@example = File.open("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/example.md", "rb").read
erb :index
end
end
this is just a simple erb
template, but you get the idea.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/pygments.css" />
</head>
<body>
<%= glorify @example %>
</body>
</html>
the default pygments stylesheet that comes with glorify is available at the
/pygments.css
route
to make this work on heroku you'll have to use python2.6
heroku config:add GLORIFY_PYTHON=python2.6
