gitbook doesn't highlight llvm ir syntax

[f0rki]

This makes it not so nice to read.

Maybe

• using ll as language tag is wrong.
• no highlight.js support

Strange, when I open an LLVM IR file from the repository, it is highlighted properly. I am using Chrome, which browser are you using?

Please see the attached screen capture.

yes github does highlight it properly, but not gitbooks.io --> see e.g. https://f0rki.gitbooks.io/mapping-high-level-constructs-to-llvm-ir/content/mapping-basic-constructs-to-llvm-ir/global-variables.html

Oh, bummer :-)

Are you good at JavaScript? I have no experience in it. The only solution seems to be to add support for LLVM IR to highlight.js. I've tried adding languages to other syntax highlighters and it usually takes like a single evening to do. I can take a shot at it or do you prefer to do it?

[f0rki]

I wouldn't say that I'm good at JavaScript, but I think I can manage to do it. I guess I can use the one from github or pygments as a base.

Okay, thanks :)

Pull request for highlight.js at highlightjs/highlight.js#1337

Now we have to wait until gitbook integrates this... I'm waiting till then to close this issue.

It seems like there are a lot of open pull requests, maybe we can use the addcssjs gitbook plugin to load a custom highlightjs until it's merged.

Tried to switch to the gitbook pygments plugin with 4585e4d . works fine locally, but no pygments on the gitbook build server...

My pull request for highlight.js at highlightjs/highlight.js#1337 was finally merged. Now we just have to wait for a release or gitbook to integrate it.

Turns out gitbook.com is super slow in incorporating new highlightjs versions... I openend a pull request: GitbookIO/plugin-highlight/pull/9

[f0rki]

I switched to readthedocs.
