pygmentize

Python-based syntax highlighter.

pygmentize {{file.py}}

  • Explicitly set the language for syntax highlighting:

pygmentize -l {{javascript}} {{input_file}}

  • List available lexers (processors for input languages):

pygmentize -L lexers

  • Save output to a file in HTML format:

pygmentize -f html -o {{output_file.html}} {{input_file.py}}

  • List available output formats:

pygmentize -L formatters

  • Output an HTML file, with additional formatter options (full page, with line numbers):

pygmentize -f html -O "full,linenos=True" -o {{output_file.html}} {{input_file}}
