talk-highlight

Talk highlight

This is a simple module for converting texts to HTML for forums.
Markdown is not a good choice for forums, so I'd like to create one.
As I talked at http://v2ex.com/t/71902 and https://github.com/cnodejs/nodeclub/issues/169

Features:

• Highlight common used keywords for programming languages
• A option list for the strings you want to highlight
• Links will be recognized
• Simple Links of images will be recognized

Notice:

• This is used togather with white-space: pre-wrap
• Use monospaced font for contents
• CSS is used to configure the colors

Known problems:

• Keywords like span and class may fail
• Strings cannot be markuped here

Usage

Get this module from NPM:

npm install talk-highlight

Use it in your code:

{convert} = require 'talk-highlight'

talk = 'hi console.log'

options =
  keyword: 'for console'
  'any-can-be-class': 'CoffeeScript JavaScript'

convert talk, options # outputs HTML

Or read the test/ for more details.
