Hello,

I came across bug in pygments highlighting of Turtle. I don't work with python but I managed to put together a PR which hopefully will fix that issue: https://github.com/pygments/pygments/pull/1590

Pygments has lexers for SPARQL, Turtle and ShExC. They have quite a bit of duplication and Turtle appears to be written before other two.

I just wanted give shout out to RDFlib community to see if someone would be interested in improving RDF support in pygments. It is used by https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/ and growing number of W3C groups uses it for drafting specs and notes.

Cheers!

Hi elf,

Thanks for identifying and fixing that Pygments bug. I'm aware of the other two lexers for SPARQL & ShEx (at least the ShEx one was written by Harold Solbrig who is on this list I think). 

What do you suggest we could do to "improve RDF support in pygments"? Are you after someone from RDFlib to check syntax highlighting created by the Turtle and other lexers or are you after downstream use of Pygments within RDFlib?

Cheers,

Nick
