Example

JavaScript

import {highlight} from '@lumis-sh/lumis'
import {bbcodeScoped} from '@lumis-sh/lumis/formatters'
import javascript from '@lumis-sh/lumis/langs/javascript'

const output = await highlight(
  'const x = "[url=x]"',
  bbcodeScoped({language: javascript})
)

console.log(output)

Rust

use lumis::{highlight, BBCodeScopedBuilder, languages::Language};

let bbcode = highlight(
    "fn main() {}",
    BBCodeScopedBuilder::new()
        .language(Language::Rust)
        .build()
        .unwrap(),
);

println!("{}", bbcode);

Elixir

bbcode = Lumis.highlight!(
  ~s(const x = "[url=x]"),
  formatter: {:bbcode_scoped, language: "javascript"}
)

IO.puts(bbcode)

Java

import io.roastedroot.lumis4j.core.Formatter;
import io.roastedroot.lumis4j.core.Lang;
import io.roastedroot.lumis4j.core.Lumis;

var lumis = Lumis.builder().build();

var highlighter = lumis.highlighter()
    .withLang(Lang.JAVASCRIPT)
    .withFormatter(Formatter.BBCODE)
    .build();

var output = highlighter.highlight("const x = \"[url=x]\"").string();
System.out.println(output);

lumis.close();

CLI

lumis highlight main.rs -f bbcode-scoped

Output format

Scope names from the syntax tree are converted to BBCode tags by replacing dots with hyphens:

[keyword-function]fn[/keyword-function] [function]main[/function]

bbcodeScoped() / :bbcode_scoped / bbcode-scoped emit highlight scope names as tags. They do not try to generate standard forum-style BBCode such as [b], [color], or [code].

When to use it

• Forum posts and BBCode-based platforms
• Custom rendering pipelines that consume scope-tagged text
• Lightweight markup without HTML overhead
