code highlighting
I want to blog on code and thus inserting code into the blog is important. I also want highlighting. There are multiple tools around which do this job, but I had a look at. source-highlight. I could run it from the command line but since I am an emacs user I can also run it from emacs. Thus, I have created a little elisp function which helps to convert code into highlighted code:
(defun highlight-region (&optional b e) (interactive "r") (shell-command-on-region b e "highlight --syntax lisp -f" (current-buffer) t) (comment-region (mark) (point)))The snippet can tolerate a bit of improvement, but the highlighting does its job.
