Hana 9e216da9ef go.mod: add go.mod and move pygments to third_party
After go1.16, go will use module mode by default,
even when the repository is checked out under GOPATH
or in a one-off directory. Add go.mod, go.sum to keep
this repo buildable without opting out of the module
mode.

> go mod init github.com/mmcgrana/gobyexample
> go mod tidy
> go mod vendor

In module mode, the 'vendor' directory is special
and its contents will be actively maintained by the
go command. pygments aren't the dependency the go will
know about, so it will delete the contents from vendor
directory. Move it to `third_party` directory now.

And, vendor the blackfriday package.

Note: the tutorial contents are not affected by the
change in go1.16 because all the examples in this
tutorial ask users to run the go command with the
explicit list of files to be compiled (e.g.
`go run hello-world.go` or `go build command-line-arguments.go`).
When the source list is provided, the go command does
not have to compute the build list and whether it's
running in GOPATH mode or module mode becomes irrelevant.

=====================
The full Pygments API
=====================
This page describes the Pygments API.
High-level API
==============
.. module:: pygments
Functions from the :mod:`pygments` module:
.. function:: lex(code, lexer)
Lex `code` with the `lexer` (must be a `Lexer` instance)
and return an iterable of tokens. Currently, this only calls
`lexer.get_tokens()`.
.. function:: format(tokens, formatter, outfile=None)
Format a token stream (iterable of tokens) `tokens` with the
`formatter` (must be a `Formatter` instance). The result is
written to `outfile`, or if that is ``None``, returned as a
string.
.. function:: highlight(code, lexer, formatter, outfile=None)
This is the most high-level highlighting function.
It combines `lex` and `format` in one function.
.. module:: pygments.lexers
Functions from :mod:`pygments.lexers`:
.. function:: get_lexer_by_name(alias, **options)
Return an instance of a `Lexer` subclass that has `alias` in its
aliases list. The lexer is given the `options` at its
instantiation.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if no lexer with that alias is
found.
.. function:: get_lexer_for_filename(fn, **options)
Return a `Lexer` subclass instance that has a filename pattern
matching `fn`. The lexer is given the `options` at its
instantiation.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if no lexer for that filename
is found.
.. function:: get_lexer_for_mimetype(mime, **options)
Return a `Lexer` subclass instance that has `mime` in its mimetype
list. The lexer is given the `options` at its instantiation.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if not lexer for that mimetype
is found.
.. function:: guess_lexer(text, **options)
Return a `Lexer` subclass instance that's guessed from the text in
`text`. For that, the :meth:`.analyse_text()` method of every known lexer
class is called with the text as argument, and the lexer which returned the
highest value will be instantiated and returned.
:exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` is raised if no lexer thinks it can
handle the content.
.. function:: guess_lexer_for_filename(filename, text, **options)
As :func:`guess_lexer()`, but only lexers which have a pattern in `filenames`
or `alias_filenames` that matches `filename` are taken into consideration.
:exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` is raised if no lexer thinks it can
handle the content.
.. function:: get_all_lexers()
Return an iterable over all registered lexers, yielding tuples in the
format::
(longname, tuple of aliases, tuple of filename patterns, tuple of mimetypes)
.. versionadded:: 0.6
.. module:: pygments.formatters
Functions from :mod:`pygments.formatters`:
.. function:: get_formatter_by_name(alias, **options)
Return an instance of a :class:`.Formatter` subclass that has `alias` in its
aliases list. The formatter is given the `options` at its instantiation.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if no formatter with that
alias is found.
.. function:: get_formatter_for_filename(fn, **options)
Return a :class:`.Formatter` subclass instance that has a filename pattern
matching `fn`. The formatter is given the `options` at its instantiation.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if no formatter for that filename
is found.
.. module:: pygments.styles
Functions from :mod:`pygments.styles`:
.. function:: get_style_by_name(name)
Return a style class by its short name. The names of the builtin styles
are listed in :data:`pygments.styles.STYLE_MAP`.
Will raise :exc:`pygments.util.ClassNotFound` if no style of that name is
found.
.. function:: get_all_styles()
Return an iterable over all registered styles, yielding their names.
.. versionadded:: 0.6
.. module:: pygments.lexer
Lexers
======
The base lexer class from which all lexers are derived is:
.. class:: Lexer(**options)
The constructor takes a \*\*keywords dictionary of options.
Every subclass must first process its own options and then call
the `Lexer` constructor, since it processes the `stripnl`,
`stripall` and `tabsize` options.
An example looks like this:
.. sourcecode:: python
def __init__(self, **options):
self.compress = options.get('compress', '')
Lexer.__init__(self, **options)
As these options must all be specifiable as strings (due to the
command line usage), there are various utility functions
available to help with that, see `Option processing`_.
.. method:: get_tokens(text)
This method is the basic interface of a lexer. It is called by
the `highlight()` function. It must process the text and return an
iterable of ``(tokentype, value)`` pairs from `text`.
Normally, you don't need to override this method. The default
implementation processes the `stripnl`, `stripall` and `tabsize`
options and then yields all tokens from `get_tokens_unprocessed()`,
with the ``index`` dropped.
.. method:: get_tokens_unprocessed(text)
This method should process the text and return an iterable of
``(index, tokentype, value)`` tuples where ``index`` is the starting
position of the token within the input text.
This method must be overridden by subclasses.
.. staticmethod:: analyse_text(text)
A static method which is called for lexer guessing. It should analyse
the text and return a float in the range from ``0.0`` to ``1.0``.
If it returns ``0.0``, the lexer will not be selected as the most
probable one, if it returns ``1.0``, it will be selected immediately.
.. note:: You don't have to add ``@staticmethod`` to the definition of
this method, this will be taken care of by the Lexer's metaclass.
For a list of known tokens have a look at the :doc:`tokens` page.
A lexer also can have the following attributes (in fact, they are mandatory
except `alias_filenames`) that are used by the builtin lookup mechanism.
.. attribute:: name
Full name for the lexer, in human-readable form.
.. attribute:: aliases
A list of short, unique identifiers that can be used to lookup
the lexer from a list, e.g. using `get_lexer_by_name()`.
.. attribute:: filenames
A list of `fnmatch` patterns that match filenames which contain
content for this lexer. The patterns in this list should be unique among
all lexers.
.. attribute:: alias_filenames
A list of `fnmatch` patterns that match filenames which may or may not
contain content for this lexer. This list is used by the
:func:`.guess_lexer_for_filename()` function, to determine which lexers
are then included in guessing the correct one. That means that
e.g. every lexer for HTML and a template language should include
``\*.html`` in this list.
.. attribute:: mimetypes
A list of MIME types for content that can be lexed with this
lexer.
.. module:: pygments.formatter
Formatters
==========
A formatter is derived from this class:
.. class:: Formatter(**options)
As with lexers, this constructor processes options and then must call the
base class :meth:`__init__`.
The :class:`Formatter` class recognizes the options `style`, `full` and
`title`. It is up to the formatter class whether it uses them.
.. method:: get_style_defs(arg='')
This method must return statements or declarations suitable to define
the current style for subsequent highlighted text (e.g. CSS classes
in the `HTMLFormatter`).
The optional argument `arg` can be used to modify the generation and
is formatter dependent (it is standardized because it can be given on
the command line).
This method is called by the ``-S`` :doc:`command-line option <cmdline>`,
the `arg` is then given by the ``-a`` option.
.. method:: format(tokensource, outfile)
This method must format the tokens from the `tokensource` iterable and
write the formatted version to the file object `outfile`.
Formatter options can control how exactly the tokens are converted.
.. versionadded:: 0.7
A formatter must have the following attributes that are used by the
builtin lookup mechanism.
.. attribute:: name
Full name for the formatter, in human-readable form.
.. attribute:: aliases
A list of short, unique identifiers that can be used to lookup
the formatter from a list, e.g. using :func:`.get_formatter_by_name()`.
.. attribute:: filenames
A list of :mod:`fnmatch` patterns that match filenames for which this
formatter can produce output. The patterns in this list should be unique
among all formatters.
.. module:: pygments.util
Option processing
=================
The :mod:`pygments.util` module has some utility functions usable for option
processing:
.. exception:: OptionError
This exception will be raised by all option processing functions if
the type or value of the argument is not correct.
.. function:: get_bool_opt(options, optname, default=None)
Interpret the key `optname` from the dictionary `options` as a boolean and
return it. Return `default` if `optname` is not in `options`.
The valid string values for ``True`` are ``1``, ``yes``, ``true`` and
``on``, the ones for ``False`` are ``0``, ``no``, ``false`` and ``off``
(matched case-insensitively).
.. function:: get_int_opt(options, optname, default=None)
As :func:`get_bool_opt`, but interpret the value as an integer.
.. function:: get_list_opt(options, optname, default=None)
If the key `optname` from the dictionary `options` is a string,
split it at whitespace and return it. If it is already a list
or a tuple, it is returned as a list.
.. function:: get_choice_opt(options, optname, allowed, default=None)
If the key `optname` from the dictionary is not in the sequence
`allowed`, raise an error, otherwise return it.
.. versionadded:: 0.8
