[Request] couple aliases for highliting fenced code

[vovkkk]

In order to support GitHub Markdown, Pandoc should recognize c++ as cpp, and objective-c as objectivec.

Examples:

• c++

  #define default_value 10
  using namespace std;

• cpp

  #define default_value 10
  using namespace std;

• objective-c

  //  faceAwarenessClipping
  #import "AppDelegate.h"

• objectivec

  //  faceAwarenessClipping
  #import "AppDelegate.h"

Yesterday I’ve start checking other languages (take info from linguist). Stuck on F#. examples

Pandoc (striked langs doesn’t work in GFM, I’m not imply removing it is just a matter of emphisising)	GitHub Markdown
actionscript	as (as3 is highlighted differently)
ada	adb ads
apache	apacheconf
asp	aspx aspx-vb asax ascx ashx asmx aspx axd
awk	gawk mawk nawk
bash	sh
clojure	clj cljs
coffee	coffee-script coffeescript
commonlisp	lisp cl
cs	c# csharp
djangotemplate	jinja
eiffel	e
erlang	hrl
fortran	f f90

@jgm does it make sense? should I continue?

Hi, I'm trying to get jinja highlighting for the following ReST code converted to latex (then to PDF) :

.. code-block:: jinja

  {% for user in users %}
    - name : user
  {% endfor %}

replacing jinja by djangotemplate show a bit more color.

Any reason why, if pygments is used, this is not supported ?

Should I file a new issue ?

Pandoc uses highlighting kate for syntax highlighting. Pygments isn't used by default. Both highlighters use different language keywords, which is why jinja won't work.

If you need your highlighting to be done by Pygments, you might want to look at pandoc-with-pygments and similar projects.

@tarleb thanks for the answer. The documentation probably could be updated then : http://pandoc.org/README.html says pygments is the default highlighter. Do you think it would work with --highlight-style=pygments ?

Requested jinja templating on kate and will take a look at pandoc-with-pygments

[tarleb]

Whoops, I'm probably wrong, then. Last time I checked it used hightlighting kate, but this might have changed without me noting.

Pandoc always uses highlighting-kate, never pygments. --highlight-style selects the color scheme. One of highlighting-kate's color schemes is called pygments, because it imitates pygments' default color scheme. (And that's the default.)

@jgm thanks for the clarification. Maybe the documentation could include this information ? And a word of warning about code-block names that are not the same between pygments and kate.
