Help: Override pygments CMakeLexer to support <..> and [..]
* The code snippets in the docs consist of CMake code mixed with syntax definition punctuation like < > [ ] ... Therefore a pure CMake lexer is inadequate. Here it is replaced by a CMake syntax definition parser. * Fixed syntax definition snippets in FindPkgConfig.cmake to make best use of syntax highlighting. This source file is the hardest to support because it contains comparison operators <= = >=, which need special attention to avoid confusion with the placeholder indicators <...>. * Fixed syntax in execute_process.rst (there were unbalanced brackets). * Disabled syntax highlighting for long string examples in cmake-language.7.rst. * No highlighting of removed syntax in CMP0049 * To inspect the outcome of this patch, see e.g. the pages * manual/cmake-buildsystem.7.html * module/ExternalProject.html * module/FindPkgConfig.html which are particularly rich in complex code snippets.
