MakeupC

A Makeup lexer for the C language.

Installation

Add makeup_c to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:makeup_c, ">= 0.0.0"}
  ]
end

The lexer will be automatically registered in Makeup for the languages "c" as well as the extensions ".c" and ".h".

Status

This lexer was built to highlight C code in a blog. It works for my purposes so I'm happy. It is fairly naive as it doesn't take into account any of the C language's type checking. It also has the C++ keywords, but doesn't attempt to do anything fancy regarding templates and other fancy type definitions. I needed it just for C, and that is what it does.

If anybody wants to take a crack at making it more type aware or providing better support for C++, please have a go at it.
