Text::VimColor works!

Posted by

Turns out I was able to get Text::VimColor to work after all - seems I wasn't quite reading the documentation properly. See, vim needed a little help to figure out what's what - in this case, what kind of terminal it's attached to (which it isn't in this case, which is running as a CGI under apache).

According to the documentation for vim:

-T {terminal}

        Tells  Vim  the  name  of the terminal

        you are using.  Only required when the

        automatic way doesn't work.  Should be

        a terminal  known  to Vim (builtin) or

        defined in the termcap or terminfo file.

So all I really needed to do was give it a hint so it wouldn't complain about not being attached to a terminal. Therefore, the solution is:

my $vim = Text::VimColor->new(

  string => $code,

  filetype => $filetype,

  vim_options => [qw(-RXZ -i NONE -u NONE -N -T xterm) ],

);

Unfortunately, it's slow.

It's a known issue - this is why Apache::VimColor uses caching to speed up the HTML generation. In fact, with five code snippets on the main page (just prior to this current time of writing) case the page generation speed to go from about 0.07 seconds to nearly 1.1 seconds. That's quite an order of magnitude increase. And that's not counting adding these two snippets in a single post⁵, nor the posts in the future that will undoubtedly have more code and other syntax colored snippets.
