silicon VS vscode-textmate

There is silicon.nvim that uses the cli tool silicon to export the code as an image (I think there is also an alternative that uses carbon). There is also vim-copy-as-rtf that works only on OSx and Code2RTF.vim that works only on Windows (there was a fork of vim-copy-as-rtf for Linux, but I can't find it). Finally, there is this discussion about alternatives, being one of them to use pandoc and :TOHtml to export the text as RTF

Use Carbon or if you want a program there is silicon

Have you seen https://github.com/Aloxaf/silicon by the way?

Another one in Rust: https://github.com/Aloxaf/silicon

You can use https://carbon.now.sh/ for this!Find the CLI here: https://github.com/mixn/carbon-now-cliAlternative: Silicon (Rust): https://github.com/Aloxaf/silicon

You can follow directions here on how to install it on your system.

Silicon (CLI)

Luckily, there is a project that has fitted my needs perfectly: vscode-grammar-test. It’s a command line tool that builds on the VS Code regex engine and grammar file parser and allows to run unit tests directly against a given grammar file.

Shiki does this because the underlying library vscode-textmate or vscode-oniguruma returns black if the value is not a valid color. This explains why Code Hike uses blackish color codes instead of variables. But what if we write a variable directly into the theme instead of the color code.

Thank you for the response! I feared that I might have to create a vscode extension for the language. I'm assuming I can use this json file to build textmate grammar for Stks ? Do you suggest any specific resources for learning textmate grammar and regex? I'm especially unfamiliar with regex. Thanks again

I see now. Thanks for the hint!

There are lots of different approaches you could take. For sourcecodeshots, I run it through VSCode's tokenizer (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-textmate) and then use node-canvas to generate the image one line at a time.

It's a very imperative process and fairly slow on a cpu, but the nice thing is that I can run the same code in the browser to speed up development. The Rust project, https://github.com/Aloxaf/silicon, mentioned in another part of the comments is probably faster, but I didn't find it when I was searching for a solution.
