chroma

A general-purpose syntax highlighter. The --lexer option is usually unnecessary, as it will be automatically determined based on the file extension. More information: https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma.

• Highlight source code from a file with the Python lexer and output to stdout:

chroma --lexer python path/to/source_file.py

• Highlight source code from a file with the Go lexer and output to an HTML file:

chroma --lexer go --formatter html path/to/source_file.go > path/to/target_file.html

• Highlight source code from stdin with the C++ lexer and output to an SVG file, using the Monokai style:

command | chroma --lexer c++ --formatter svg --style monokai > path/to/target_file.svg

• List available lexers, styles and formatters:

chroma --list
