6 `syntax` is a plugin that add support to ikiwiki for syntax highlighting through the *vim* editor and its perl interface [[cpan Text::VimColor]], so it depends on a vim functional installation.
8 The plugin inserts a fragment of HTML with special marks from a file or a string text. It accepts the following parameters:
10 * **type** (optional): this is the file type for vim syntax highlighthing. It can be omitted if the param *file* exists.
11 * **file**: Path to the source file. It must exist on every rebuild of the wiki.
12 * **text**: Text string with the source.
13 * **description** (optional): little description about the content.
14 * **linenumbers** (optional): enable the line numering of the source page. A value greater than zero is the first line number.
16 The params *file* and *text* are mutually exclusive.
18 In the case of file parameter, `syntax` will build a html link for direct download.

26 print "Hello, ${a}\n";
31 \[[syntax file="/examples/hello.pl" description="My first perl program"]]
