[ANN] LXSH: Lexing & Syntax Highlighting in Lua (using LPeg)

[Peter Odding <peter@...>]

Hi list,

Here's some fun distraction from the recent threads about holes in 
tables and the definition of nil :-)

I've just published the first release of LXSH, a library of lexers and 
syntax highlighters for Lua and C source code. The syntax highlighters 
generate HTML designed to be easily embedded in web pages, support three 
color schemes out of the box and transform standard library identifiers 
into documentation hyper links.

For installation instructions (including a rockspec) and downloads 
please see the homepage [1] or GitHub project [2]. If you're curious 
what the generated HTML looks like please see the introductory paragraph 
on the homepage or GitHub project page for examples.

Enjoy!

PS. I've published this library in response to the recent thread "Simple 
syntax coloring code" [3]. I don't think the topic starter is okay with 
the LPeg dependency but decided to publish LXSH either way.
