Highlight

Highlight converts source code to HTML, XHTML, RTF, LaTeX, TeX, SVG, BBCode, and terminal escape sequences with coloured syntax highlighting. Language definitions and colour themes are customizable.

Highlight was designed to offer a flexible but easy-to-use syntax highlighter for several output formats. Instead of hardcoding syntax or colouring information, all relevant data is stored in configuration scripts. These scripts may be altered or enhanced with plug-in scripts.
