## Detailed Description

Object representing a syntax highlighted language.

Language encapsulates syntax and highlighting styles for a particular language. Use LanguageManager to obtain a Language instance, and Buffer::set_language() to apply it to a Buffer.

## Member Function Documentation

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gsv::Language::get_globs | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the globs associated to this language.

This is just a utility wrapper around get_metadata() to retrieve the "globs" metadata property and split it into an array.

Returns:
  An array containing the globs.

bool Gsv::Language::get_hidden | ( |  | ) | const

Returns whether the language should be hidden from the user.

Returns:
  `true` if the language should be hidden, `false` otherwise.

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_id | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the ID of a language.

The ID is not locale-dependent.

Returns:
  The ID of a language.

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_metadata | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) | const

Returns metadata of a language.

Parameters:

  name | Metadata property name.

Returns:
  Value of property name stored in the metadata of language or empty string if language doesn't contain that metadata property.

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gsv::Language::get_mime_types | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the mime types associated to this language.

This is just a utility wrapper around get_metadata() to retrieve the "mimetypes" metadata property and split it into an array.

Returns:
  An array containing the mime types.

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_name | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the localized name of the language.

Returns:
  The name of a language.

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_section | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the localized section of the language.

Each language belong to a section (ex. HTML belogs to the Markup section).

Returns:
  The section of a language.

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gsv::Language::get_style_ids | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the ids of the styles defined by this language.

Returns:
  An array containing ids of the styles defined by this language.

Glib::ustring Gsv::Language::get_style_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | style_id | ) | const

Returns the name of the style with ID style_id defined by this language.

Parameters:

  style_id | A style ID.

Returns:
  The name of the style with ID style_id defined by this language or empty string if the style has no name or there is no style with ID style_id defined by this language.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gsv::Language::property_hidden | ( |  | ) | const

Whether the language should be hidden from the user.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<std::string> Gsv::Language::property_id | ( |  | ) | const

Language id.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<std::string> Gsv::Language::property_name | ( |  | ) | const

Language name.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
