Use wkhtmltoimage to create images of book-quality syntax-highlighted source code: http://superuser.com/questions/213217/convert-html-to-image http://superuser.com/questions/213217/convert-html-to-image Use gvim to pick from 100 different ready-made colour schemes: http://www.vi-improved.org/color_sampler_pack/ http://www.vi-improved.org/color_sampler_pack/ Shameless plug: I describe this technique in an appendix of my technical manual. http://www.whitemagicsoftware.com/books/indispensable/ http://www.whitemagicsoftware.com/books/indispensable/ For example: #!/bin/bash echo Converting $1 to $1.html... # Schemes: pyte vim $1 -c "set nobackup" ${2:+"-c set number"} \ -c ":colorscheme tango-morning" \ -c ":TOhtml" \ -c "wq" -c ":q" echo Converting $1.html to $1.png... wkhtmltoimage --transparent --minimum-font-size 80 \ --format png --quality 100 --width 4000 \ $1.html $1.png mv $1.png $1.orig.png # For scripts that are under 80 characters, make the generated image always # the same size (4000 pixels = width + (border x 2) = 3950 + 25 x 2). LENGTH=$(awk 'BEGIN {x=0} {if( length($0)>x ) x=length()} END {print x;}' $1) if [ $LENGTH -le 80 ]; then EXTENT=true fi echo Trimming $1.png... convert -format png $1.orig.png -background none -antialias -trim +repage \ -density 150x150 ${EXTENT:+-extent 3950x} \ -bordercolor none -border 25 \ $1.png echo Removing temporary files... rm -f $1.orig.png rm -f $1.html
