Pygments
Python syntax highlighter
From a recent JavaScript entry:
var a=['a','b','c','d']; var b=[]; for (var i=0; i<a.length; i++) { b[i] = function(j) { console.log(j, i); }; } for (var j=0; j<b.length; j++) { b[j](j); } ...
This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. Highlights are:
- a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
- special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
- support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a simple regex-based lexing mechanism
- a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences
- it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
- ... and it highlights even Brainf*ck!

Though Pygments has not yet won an award, we trust that you will notice it's a top quality product <wink>.
