Esteemed colleagues!
We've a large C++ project, with documentation created with Doxygen->Sphinx->Pygments. 99% of it works great, since we're documenting C++ code in *.cc files.
However, there are some *.cc files that attempt to create code-blocks for OTHER LANGUAGES. I'm having trouble passing the lexer choice down to Pygments so it can highlight correctly.
Here's my approach within a file, lets call "stackoverflow.cc". These all "work" as I expect:
``` shell
%> This is correctly highlighted as a shell script.
%> Perhaps because Doxygen understands it naitvely?
```
``` c++
class StackOverflow : public Works {
// This is correctly highlighted as C++. Natively?
}
````
``` verbatim
class StackOverflow : public Works {
// This is *ALSO* correctly highlighted as C++.
//
// I presume that BECAUSE the file extension is *.cc
// that Sphinx(?) selects the C++ lexer.
//
// My other presumption is that the "verbatim" block
// causes the contents to be passed unmodified from
// Doxygen down to Sphinx where it can process
// reStructuredText. No?
}
```
I expect that this block below will choose a different lexer, and emit different highlighting, but it doesn't. It's still highlighted as C++. The reStructuredText, such as the ".. code-blocks:: basemake" directive are emitted and highlighted just like the other text in this block!
``` verbatim
.. code-block:: basemake
FOO := $(filter foo,${SOME_VAR})
target: dependencies
recipe $(FOO)
..
```
Where am I making a mistake? How can I get that block to be highlighted as if it was a Makefile format instead of C++?
Thanks!
