Feature Overview

This is a very small and simple plugin to place defined snippets of a file onto your page or just output a code snipped with line numbering.

This plugin delivers following:

Demo: http://www.fristercons.de/fcon/doku.php?id=xssnipper:xssnipper

Syntax

Case 1: Standard code snipped

The following syntax does apply: {(xssnipper>,[start line],[code language] [code block file] [slide],[ code ])}
where [ code ] is the snipped you want to show.

Syntax Example (no slide):

{(xssnipper>,1,php test,
// 1. check if $xssnipper['filepath'] exist, else error message
   if(!file_exists($xssnipper['filepath'])) {
      msg('file '.$xssnipper['filepath'].' not found',-1);
      return false;
   }
)}

Case 2: Code snipped from file

The following syntax does apply: {(xssnipper>[PATH],[from line],[to line],[code language] [code block file] [slide])} \\.

Parameter Necessity Meaning
[PATH] mandatory specifies the file where content to be picked up
[from line] optional defines the first line to be displayed, if empty it will be set to zero; if further parameter will be given at least the colon separator to be written
[to line] optional defines the last line to be displayed, if empty it will be set to end of file; if further parameter will be given at least the colon separator to be written
[code language] optional tells code block/GeSHi what language file to be used for coloring, file extension of the [path] parameter will be used if empty
[code block file] optional enables the download cod blocks feature and specifies the file name, if empty no downloadable code block provided. (file name must not contain space character !)
[slide] optional enables the view/hide (slide) function of the code block. Any value will switch on this function (e.g. 1 or on or slide). If set the code will be hidden initially.

Simply place syntax like following into your page markup: 

{(xssnipper>./lib/plugins/xssnipper/plugin.info.txt,1,5,txt test.txt)}

The snippets are displayed with Syntax Highlighting of DokuWiki (GeSHi).
The following example visualize it for better understanding: 

{(xssnipper>./lib/plugins/xssnipper/syntax.php,85,104,php)}
