I gotta really ask you this ... why did you write your own scanner for
C# ?.. I think you could have gotten away with a simple flex scanner
and saved a lot of work and code as well.
You could have gotten away with just
#define CLOSE_AND_OPEN(stream,type,color) \
do\
{\
if(previous!=TOK_##type)\
{ \
CSSrcGenClosingTag(previous);\
CSSrcGenOpeningTag(TOK_##type);\
previous = TOK_#type;\
}\
}\
while(0)
switch(yylex())
{
case TOK_KEYWORD:
CLOSE_AND_OPEN(outStream, KEYWORD, "cs-keyword");
fputs(yytext,outStream);
break;
...
}
You have spent such a lot of work on the scanner , that HTML gen has
suffered , so to speak . I can only say that I don't like the HTML it
generates .. As far as possible , try to stick to XML compatible HTML
syntax . Your code seems to have gone too deep into <font> hell :-)
Convert all \n into <br/> and all tabs into
etc...
You might even define the formatting as classes and use a .css file to
set the colors & highlights instead of hard-coding them in HTML ..
<font class="lineno">1 </font>
<font class="cskeyword">using</font> <font class="csidentifier">System</font>
<font class="cspunct">;</font>
Modularize, Simplify and well -- Use the Force ;-)
