User Reviews

  • Fabulous app. It works! I needed to convert code snippets to svg for importing into After Effects. This works exceedingly well for the workflow. It has all the features I need for animating code and more. It has extensive language support, too.
  • This highlighter is the fastest I have ever tried and plays nicely together with cgit.
  • [CLI] A great little application, have made use of it several times when needing to display code on a website
