Module: Simplabs::Highlight

Defined in:

Overview

Highlight is a simple syntax highlighting plugin for Ruby on Rails. It's basically a wrapper around the popular pygments.org highlighter that's written in Python and supports an impressive number of languages. If pygments is installed on the machine and in the PATH, that binary is used, otherwise the plugin falls back to the web API at (pygments.simplabs.com/), created by Trevor Turk.
