codeblock outputclass="language-c" syntax highlighting oddity

When I use oXygen 22 and the built-in DITA to PDF (based on XSL-FO) publishing for a sample like
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="topic_d3q_35y_rkb">
<title>Test</title>
<body>
<p>Test</p>
<codeblock outputclass="language-c">#define VALUE1 100 /* Comment */
#define VALUE2 200 /* Comment */
#define VALUE3 300 /* Comment */
#define VALUE4 400 /* Comment */
</codeblock>
<codeblock outputclass="language-javascript">const VALUE1 = 100; /* Comment */
const VALUE2 = 200; /* Comment */
const VALUE3 = 300; /* Comment */
const VALUE4 = 400; /* Comment */
</codeblock>
</body>
</topic>
then all four lines in the language-javascript section have the same syntax colouring but for the language-c lines the first line use a black text color for the #define and green for the comment while the remaining three lines have all text in pink.

Hi Martin,
Sorry for the delay, I can reproduce the problem and added an internal issue to try and fix it.
When we have a fix I will update this thread.
Maybe as a workaround there is another highlighting plugin for the DITA OT:
https://prismjsdita-ot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
but it will work only in the HTML-based outputs and if there is a network connection. You would probably also need to uninstall our "com.oxygenxml.highlight" DITA OT plugin.
Regards,
Radu

Hi Martin,
I looked a little bit on this problem, as a possible fix there is this C highlight configuration file:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT3.x/plugins/com.oxygenxml.highlight/highlighters/c-hl.xml
and change its contents to:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi,
We recently released Oxygen 22.1 which should have this problem fixed.

Hi Radu,
Could you please advise how to use the language-python highlighters (OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\com.oxygenxml.highlight\highlighters) to get oxygen to set functionNames() (or even a list of named keywords) to highlight in e.g. red (or any colour)?
Thanks in advance for your help as I'm stumped here..
Best regards,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,
As this older forum thread is about C, maybe you could have started a new thread about Python color highlighting.
From what I tested, using a codeblock like this with the
outputclass="language-python" attribute should work:
Code: Select all
<codeblock outputclass="language-python">def greet():
print('Hello World!')
# call the function
greet()
print('Outside function')</codeblock>
Regards,
Radu
