[fixed] [or, worked around at least] syntax highlighting (pygments/coderay) not working in vanilla apt-get install?

Hi all,

Prompted by my publishers, I'm making the switch from asciidoc to asciidoctor.  I've just tried rendering my book locally, and I have to say the default styles look really good!

One thing that doesn't seem to be working is the syntax highlighting of code listings.  Any ideas why?



The listing definitely has the <code class=language-python> markup applied, but I can't see anything that would match that in the embedded stylesheet.

I'm using the command-line tool I got from "apt-get install asciidoctor".  Have also tried manually setting "asciidoctor -a source-highligher=pygments,pygments-css=class"

Switched to the gem installed version, and then installed

    gem install pygments.rb

And it worked, if I used "-a source-highlighter=pygments", or added a ":source-highlighter:pygments" directive to the main doc.

Coderay also works.

Suggestions:

1/ see if you can get coderay or pygments bundled into the debian distro version,

2/ make it clear in the docs that you have to explicitly set the source-highlighter attribute for it to work?

oops, sorry i missed that!

how about adding the suggestion to install coderay in the general "how to install asciidoc" section?  almost everyone is using it for things that involve code right?  (maybe i'm wrong).

thanks for replying!

here ya go!  https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor.org/pull/536

not sure you'll be able to merge it as-is, but hopefully a placeholder to start from
