Emacs software allows syntax highlighting of code snippets.
I recently had the opportunity to use and review Text::EmacsColor, a powerful Perl module that provides syntax highlighting for code snippets in Emacs. With this module, formatting and highlighting code has never been easier.
The module comes with a straightforward SYNOPSIS, making it easy to instantiate and use. Simply create a new instance of Text::EmacsColor and then call the format method with the code snippet and the Emacs mode to use, such as cperl, lisp, or Haskell.
Another useful feature of Text::EmacsColor is its ability to allow customization of Emacs command-line options. By default, the module runs Emacs in --batch mode, but users can modify this option by passing in the emacs_command initarg with the appropriate options specified. For example, users can use emacsclient or pass other options to Emacs by using the emacs_command initarg.
Overall, Text::EmacsColor is an excellent Perl module that streamlines the process of highlighting code in Emacs. It’s easy to use and customize, making it a valuable tool for any developer.
