background

sphinx (http://sphinx-doc.org/) internally uses pygments (http://pygments.org/) syntax highligher. pygments supports adding custom syntax highlighter (lexer) described here http://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment/.

example usage

i try define new custom lexer in pygments , initialize new custom lexer in conf.py sphinx configuration file. small example should started:

from pygments.lexer import regexlexer pygments import token sphinx.highlighting import lexers  class bcllexer(regexlexer):     name = 'mylang'      tokens = {         'root': [             (r'mykeyword', token.keyword),             (r'[a-za-z]', token.name),             (r'\s', token.text)         ]     }  lexers['mylang'] = bcllexer(startinline=true)
