NAME


Highlight - a universal sourcecode to formatted text converter

SYNOPSIS


highlight [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...

DESCRIPTION


Highlight converts sourcecode to HTML, XHTML, RTF, ODT, LaTeX, TeX, BBCode, SVG, XTERM or
ANSI escape sequences. There are several colour themes available. Highlight recognizes
keywords, numbers, strings, comments, symbols and preprocessor directives. It supports
about 160 programming languages, which are defined in Lua scripts.

It's easily possible to enhance highlight's database of programming languages and colour
themes. See the README file for details.
