This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter suitable for
|
|
use in code hosting, forums, wikis or other applications that need to prettify
|
|
source code. Highlights are:
|
|
|
|
* a wide range of |language_count| languages and other text 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

----------
|
|
|
|
Like every open-source project, we are always looking for volunteers to help us
|
|
with programming. Python knowledge is required, but don't fear: Python is a very
|
|
clear and easy to learn language. Read our :doc:`contribution guidelines
|
|
<docs/contributing>` for more information.

If you found a bug, just open a ticket in the GitHub tracker. Be sure to log
|
|
in to be notified when the issue is fixed -- development is not fast-paced as
|
|
the library is quite stable. You can also send an e-mail to the developers, see
|
|
below.
