Make your code look beautiful with Pygmentize
Ever wanted your source code listings to look the same in your blog as in your favorite IDE? It’s now possible with a Python syntax highlighter, called Pygmentize.
Pygmentize is a syntax highlighter written in Python. It can be used as a simple command line tool, as well as being reached from Python scripts.
In the following example I want to highlight a JavaScript file. I tell pygmentize to output HTML:
pygmentize -f html -o example.html example.js
The command above generated this output (I simply imported the HTML created by Pygmentize into my blog post).
if (time < 10) { document.write("<b>Good morning</b>"); } else { document.write("<b>Good day</b>"); }
Take a closer look in the quickstart guide for more details on the command line tool, and how to use it in Python scripts. A package called Minted that utilizes pygmentize can be used to list source code in LaTeX. I used it in my Master thesis, and it looks so much better than the default lstlistings.
