okay so real quick, bestie: this is a plugin for Tk::CodeText that makes xresources files look gorgeous while you're editing them. that's the whole vibe. periodt. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

require Tk::CodeText::Xresources;
my $sh = new Tk::CodeText::Xresources([
   ['Comment', -foreground => 'lightblue'],
   ['Path', -foreground => 'brown'],
   ['Command', -foreground => 'blue'],

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Tk::CodeText::Xresources is a plugin module</> that provides syntax highlighting for xresources files to a Tk::CodeText text widget. 💖

so basically: you've got a Tk::CodeText widget, you've got an xresources file, and this plugin is the matchmaker that makes them understand each other. it's giving glow-up energy for your config files, fr fr. 🔥

it inherits Tk::CodeText::Template. See also there. 👀 (like, go look, it's the parent, it's got lore.)

---

💅 METHODS 💅

• highlight($string); — returns a list of string snippets and tags that can be inserted in a Tk::Text like widget instantly. ⚡

like, "instantly" instantly. you get back the pieces plus the tags that go with them, and boom 💥 you shove those straight into a Tk::Text-ish widget and it's already highlighted. no extra steps, no drama, we love a one-call wonder. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💋 this came out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, perl v5.40.1, dated 2025-05-04, and yeah the title got chopped to CodeTe...ources(3pm) which is honestly a tragedy, but the facts are all here and they're all correct. go highlight something pretty. 🌈💖
