two-face — regex lover club 🐭

Extra syntax and theme definitions for syntect including many common ones that are missing from the default set like TOML, TypeScript, and Dockerfile. Curated by the bat Project

Example

The following

$ cargo add two-face --features syntect-default-onig

use two_face::re_exports::syntect;

const TOML_TEXT: &str = "\
[section]
key = 123
";

fn main() {
    let syn_set = two_face::syntax::extra_newlines();
    let theme_set = two_face::theme::extra();

    let syn_ref = syn_set.find_syntax_by_extension("toml").unwrap();
    let theme = &theme_set[two_face::theme::EmbeddedThemeName::Nord];
    let htmlified = syntect::html::highlighted_html_for_string(
        TOML_TEXT,
        &syn_set,
        syn_ref,
        theme
    ).unwrap();

    println!("{htmlified}");
}

will print this

<pre style="background-color:#2e3440;">
<span style="color:#d8dee9;">[section]
</span><span style="color:#81a1c1;">key </span><span style="color:#d8dee9;">= </span><span style="color:#b48ead;">123
</span></pre>

Feature Flags

The feature flags are divided by syntect's underlying regex implementation with Oniguruma aka onig being the default and fancy-regex aka fancy as an alternative pure-Rust implementation. fancy: however, doesn't support all of the features used by some of the syntax definitions, so some of the defintions are excluded when fancy is selected* to keep the regex compilation infallible. This means that it's important to match whichever regex implementation syntect is using

* This is also why fancy's bundled syntax definitions are smaller than onig's

default: syntect-onig

Feature	Desc.
syntect-onig / syntect-fancy	Enables the minimal feature set that we require from syntect
syntect-default-onig / syntect-default-fancy	The mimimal feature sets along with syntect's default feature set (useful when using the syntect re-export)

Embedded Asset Sizes

This crate embeds some reasonably large assets in the final binary in order to work. Luckily the linker is smart enough to discard unused assets, so you generally only pay for what you use

For reference here are the sizes associated with their different functions

function	two-face (KiB)	syntect (KiB)
acknowledgement::listing()	11	-
syntax::extra_newlines() (onig)	961	360
^^ (fancy)	937	^^
syntax::extra_no_newlines() (onig)	959	359
^^ (fancy)	935	^^
theme::extra()	61	5

In short the syntax definitions are the real chonky part, and if you're switching from syntect to two-face, then you can expect a ~0.6MiB increase in binary size from them (in exchange for a lot of syntax definitions)

The embedded syntax definitions and assets also have their own licenses which are compiled into this markdown file along with programmatic access in the acknowledgement module.
