couldn't you do just split the code by spaces and check if the word is defined method in ur API?

highlight.js remove all html elements by the looks of it

#

simplistic view may have some weird bugs, but probably could achieve it with regex

twilit zenith Jan 21, 2023, 11:08 PM

#

Besides, the client doesn't know what function is valid. And highlight.js is clientside

#

I would need a Lua env or parser to get the results.

#

yeah but you could make a javascript array with valid functions

#

idk what u mean by that

#

i doubt that gmod wiki is running some lua env to do highlighting like this

#

it's probably some array of keywords that automatically get highlighted

Garry's Mod Wiki

Stack

An object returned by util. Stack.
Like a Lua table, a Stack is a container. It follows the principle of LIFO (last in, first out).
The Stack works like a stack of papers: the first page you put down (push) will be the last one you remove (pop). That also means that the last page you put down, will be the first to be removed.

#

:Push is highlighted

#

To get the method type, it would need to know what the variable is. To know that, it would need to know what the function returns.

ah okay, I see I didnt know it did that

#

now I understand 👍

#

idk if thats a lua env doing that, but probably not worth

#

Besides my browser reports there are above 4k native functions. Don't think the clients like making that many string compares. And we havent even started on metatables.

#

probably is a lua env lol

Sadly ye

#

why not just split text by spaces (this should also support tbl.func, obj:func) & index every word in assoc array like:

for i, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do

ipairs > Global.ipairs
player > player
GetAll > player.GetAll

#

(%s?[%S]+) by spaces
%S+%.(%S+)%(? by a.b
%S+:(%S+)%(? by a:b

#

I think there is a way to do it with just text manipulation, but probably so weird/a lot of edge cases

native lake Jan 21, 2023, 11:26 PM

#

btw at this moment it doesnt highlight lib functions (facepunch wiki does)

#

but i dont think it matters

twilit zenith Jan 21, 2023, 11:27 PM

native lake btw at this moment it doesnt highlight lib functions (facepunch wiki does)

Unless native Lua 5.3 has NikNaks build it, it won't highlight those functions as it doesn't know about them.

#

As I stated before, I use highlight.js to highlight the code.

#

To get the same functions as Gmod wiki. I would need to create a Lua emulator or env for the server to compile the code.

#

Then generate the html code from it

#

there are some lua parsers made with js already, might be worth looking at if you're interested enough lol
