Highlight converts source code to HTML, XHTML, RTF, ODT, LaTeX, TeX, SVG, BBCode, Pango markup, and terminal escape sequences with colored syntax highlighting. Language definitions and color themes are customizable. Highlight was designed to offer a flexible but easy-to-use syntax highlighter for several output formats. No syntax or coloring information is hardcoded, instead all relevant data is stored in configuration scripts. These Lua scripts may be altered and enhanced with plug-in scripts.
