[hakyll] alternate syntax highlighting

[Jon Schoning]

Suppose I wanted to use a completely different 3rd party syntax highlighter
from any of the normal options i.e. using an arbitrary unixFilter.

Would I have to use the "teaser" method of surrounding the code with HTML
comments, and then using the unixFilter to process those parsed sections?
Or is there a different method that would be easier to find and parse the
code sections within the post?

thanks,

Jon

Hello Jon,
For transforming some blocks of code in your posts, you could write a
custom pandoc filter[1] which calls your 3rd party highlighter and put its
result back into a Pandoc Raw Block, then wrap it into a hakyll
unsafeCompiler[2] for use with pandocCompilerWithTransformM[3].

If you need more than these pointers, I'll gladly answer your questions.

Perfect, thank you! This was particularly nice because I learned more
about how both hakyll and pandoc work though this.
