See ticket "#52":http://redmine.rubychan.de/issues/52. + Use the @:highlight_code@ option to turn this feature off. It's enabled + by default. + This is a very original feature. It enables multi-language highlighting for diff files, which is especially helpful for CodeRay development itself. The updated version of the scanner test suite generated .debug.diff.html files using this. - Note: This is still buggy for multi-line tokens. + Note: This is still experimental.

It's enabled by + default. + + For single-line changes (that is, a single deleted line followed by a single + inserted line), this feature surrounds the changed parts with an + @:eyecatcher@ group which appears in a more saturated background color. + The implementation is quite complex, and highly experimental. The problem + with multi-layer tokenizing is that the tokens have to be split into parts. + If the inline change starts, say, in the middle of a string, then additional + @:end_group@ and @:begin_group@ tokens must be inserted to keep the group + nesting intact. The extended @Scanner#tokenize@ method and the new + @Tokens#split_into_parts@ method take care of this. * *NEW*: Highlight the file name in the change headers as @:filename@. * *CHANGED*: Highlight unknown lines as @:comment@ instead of @:head@. |
