pygments: Generic syntax highlighter#

Description#

Pygments is a syntax highlighting package written in Python.

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 over 300 languages and other text formats is supported

  • special attention is paid to details, increasing quality by a fair amount

  • support for new languages and formats are added easily

  • a number of output formats, presently HTML, LaTeX, RTF, SVG, all image formats that PIL supports and ANSI sequences

  • it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library

Special Update/Build Instructions#

Patches included:

  • sage_prompt.patch: patch pygments/lexers/agile.py to treat the “sage:” prompt like Python’s “>>>” prompt. This allows a very kludgy patch to be removed from the Sphinx package (see #10118).
