Great tool, but the font tag is deprecated since ages. I recommend to use <span> instead of <font>.

Another concern is that subsequent highlights of the same color aren't merged so that for example each single word in a Javadoc is wrapped by its own <font> tag instead of until the firstnext occurence of a different highlight color. This would waste too much space in the HTML.

Happy coding.

  I submitted a bug report regarding the deprecated <font> tag issue. This will be fixed in the next maintenance release.
  
  About the second issue you have mentioned... We have started another project as CodeSnippet hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/codesnippet. This project contains a collection of Java libraries to convert various types of source code to HTML and solves the problem you have mentioned. As soon as this project is released, we will integrate it into CodeSnippet for Eclipse.
