Ask HN: check out my micro app - pygments syntax highlighter via HTTP

• trevorturk 17y ago
  This is an unofficial API for the Pygments syntax highlighting library, version 1.2. It's designed to provide syntax highlighting for web applications that don't have Python installed. I made it so that I can use the Pygments Python library from http://heroku.com http://heroku.com, which is Ruby-only. I saw something similar on HN a few days ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821526 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=821526), but it didn't have an API. So, I made this one, which is _just_ an API :) Feel free to use it for your projects. I also open sourced the code (http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments), so you can fork, improve, host your own, etc. Enjoy!

  You might like to make a simple form where I could paste some code and select the language from a drop down.

    Yeah, that's not a bad idea, but I don't need it myself. If you want, please go ahead and fork the code on github and send me a pull request, though. http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments http://github.com/trevorturk/pygments
