Available lexers — Pygments

# Pygments

## Available lexers

« Back To Index

This page lists all available builtin lexers and the options they take.

Currently, all lexers support these options:

stripnl
  Strip leading and trailing newlines from the input (default: `True`)
stripall
  Strip all leading and trailing whitespace from the input (default: `False`).
tabsize
  If given and greater than 0, expand tabs in the input (default: `0`).
encoding

  New in Pygments 0.6.

  If given, must be an encoding name (such as `"utf-8"`). This encoding will be used to convert the input string to Unicode (if it is not already a Unicode string). The default is `"latin1"`.

  If this option is set to `"guess"`, a simple UTF-8 vs. Latin-1 detection is used, if it is set to `"chardet"`, the chardet library is used to guess the encoding of the input.

The "Short Names" field lists the identifiers that can be used with the get_lexer_by_name() function.

These lexers are builtin and can be imported from pygments.lexers:

PhpLexer

> For PHP source code. For PHP embedded in HTML, use the HtmlPhpLexer.

> Additional options accepted:

> startinline
>   If given and `True` the lexer starts highlighting with php code (i.e.: no starting `<?php` required). The default is `False`.
> funcnamehighlighting
>   If given and `True`, highlight builtin function names (default: `True`).
> disabledmodules

>   If given, must be a list of module names whose function names should not be highlighted. By default all modules are highlighted except the special `'unknown'` module that includes functions that are known to php but are undocumented.

>   To get a list of allowed modules have a look into the _phpbuiltins module:

>       >>> from pygments.lexers._phpbuiltins import MODULES
>       >>> MODULES.keys()
>       ['PHP Options/Info', 'Zip', 'dba', ...]

>   In fact the names of those modules match the module names from the php documentation.

> Short names: | php, php3, php4, php5
> Filename patterns: | *.php, *.php[345]
> Mimetypes: | text/x-php

XmlLexer

> Generic lexer for XML (eXtensible Markup Language).

### Iterating over all lexers

New in Pygments 0.6.

To get all lexers (both the builtin and the plugin ones), you can use the get_all_lexers() function from the pygments.lexers module:

    >>> from pygments.lexers import get_all_lexers
    >>> i = get_all_lexers()
    >>> i.next()
    ('Diff', ('diff',), ('*.diff', '*.patch'), ('text/x-diff', 'text/x-patch'))
    >>> i.next()
    ('Delphi', ('delphi', 'objectpascal', 'pas', 'pascal'), ('*.pas',), ('text/x-pascal',))
    >>> i.next()
    ('XML+Ruby', ('xml+erb', 'xml+ruby'), (), ())

As you can see, the return value is an iterator which yields tuples in the form `(name, aliases, filetypes, mimetypes)`.
