README 

        
I am deprecating this in favor of QLColorCode now that it is maintained again. I have created an issue with code to add some filetypes relevant to Drupal at: https://github.com/anthonygelibert/QLColorCode/issues/74



QLColorCode-extra

=================



To install:



	mv QLColorCode.qlgenerator ~/Library/QuickLook/



If you previously had a version of QLColorCode installed you will need to run the following from terminal:



	qlmanage -r



Added support for the following filetypes:



* conf

* haml

* install

* inc

* make

* module

* less

* profile

* rake

* sass

* scss

* Clojure (both .clj and .clojure extensions)

* coffeescript (.coffee)

* stylus (.stylus)

* handlebars (.hbs)



QLColorCode

===============================================================================

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR XCODE 3.2 (SHIPPED WITH SNOW LEOPARD) USERS:

If you are running Xcode 3.2 or higher you will probably not see QLColorCode's

output unless you disable Xcode's built-in source code qlgenerator.

See the end of this file for details.

===============================================================================



This is a Quick Look plugin that renders source code with syntax highlighting,

using the Highlight library: 



To install the plugin, just drag it to /Library/QuickLook or ~/Library/QuickLook.

You may need to create that folder if it doesn't already exist.



If you want to configure QLColorCode, there are several "defaults" commands

that could be useful:



Setting the text encoding (default is UTF-8).  Two settings are required.  The

first sets Highlight's encoding, the second sets Webkit's:



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode textEncoding UTF-16

    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode webkitTextEncoding UTF-16



Setting the font:



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode font Monaco



the font size:



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode fontSizePoints 9



the color style (see http://www.andre-simon.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=theme_examples

or try slateGreen to see how I roll):



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode hlTheme ide-xcode



any extra command-line flags for Highlight (see below):



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode extraHLFlags '-l -W'



the maximum size (in bytes) for previewed files:



    defaults write org.n8gray.QLColorCode maxFileSize 1000000



Here are some useful 'highlight' command-line flags (from the man page):



	-F, --reformat=

		reformat output in given style.   <style>=[ansi,  gnu,  kr, java, linux]



	-J, --line-length=<num>

		line length before wrapping (see -W, -V)



	-j, --line-number-length=<num>

		line number length incl. left padding



	-l, --linenumbers

		print line numbers in output file



	-t  --replace-tabs=<num>

		replace tabs by num spaces



	-V, --wrap-simple

		wrap long lines without indenting function  parameters  and statements



	-W, --wrap

		wrap long lines



	-z, --zeroes

		fill leading space of line numbers with zeroes



	--kw-case=<upper|lower|capitalize>

		control case of case insensitive keywords



Highlight can handle lots and lots of languages, but this plugin will only be

invoked for file types that the OS knows are type "source-code".  Since the OS

only knows about a limited number of languages, I've added Universal Type

Identifier (UTI) declarations for several "interesting" languages.  If I've

missed your favorite language, take a look at the Info.plist file inside the

plugin bundle and look for the UTImportedTypeDeclarations section.  I

haven't added all the languages that Highlight can handle because it's rumored

that having two conflicting UTI declarations for the same file extension can

cause problems.  Note that if you do edit the Info.plist file you need to

nudge the system to tell it something has changed.  Moving the plugin to the

desktop then back to its installed location should do the trick.



To build from source, you need the Highlight library.  Download the source and

uncompress it somewhere, then make a symbolic link to that location from

./highlight



As an aside, by changing colorize.sh you can use this plugin to render any file

type that you can convert to HTML.  Have fun, and let me know if you do anything

cool!

Important information on using QLColorCode with Xcode v3.2 and later

====================================================================



The most up-to-date copy of this info will be found here:

  http://code.google.com/p/qlcolorcode/wiki/ImportantNoteForXcodeUsers



Xcode 3.2 (the version shipped with Snow Leopard) includes a Quick Look plugin

that highlights source code. It only highlights a few languages, so you probably

still want to use QLColorCode. However, the Quick Look server tends to pick the

Xcode plugin over QLCC. This means that for any source code file aside from .c,

.m, and the other languages that Xcode understands you'll see a plain text

preview with no highlighting. To get QLCC to work properly you'll need to

disable the Xcode plugin.



Details

-------



The Xcode plugin is installed at:



/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/SourceCode.qlgenerator

The simplest way to disable it is to open Terminal.app and run these commands:



	f=/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Library/QuickLook/SourceCode.qlgenerator

	sudo mv $f $f.disabled



This will rename the plugin to SourceCode.qlgenerator.disabled, which will

prevent it from being loaded by quicklookd.



A Note on Code Signing

----------------------



The Xcode application is cryptographically signed. Disabling the

SourceCode.qlgenerator plugin will NOT invalidate the signature. You can

confirm this by using the codesign command after disabling the plugin:



	[n8gray@golux]% codesign -vv /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app

	/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app: valid on disk

	/Developer/Applications/Xcode.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
