About
-----

Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of
software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to
prettify source code. Highlights are:

    * a wide range of common languages and markup formats is supported
    * special attention is paid to details increasing quality by a fair amount
    * support for new languages and formats are added easily
    * a number of output formats is available, presently HTML, LaTeX, RTF
      and ANSI sequences
    * it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
    * ... and it highlights even Brainf*ck!

The home page is at <http://pygments.org>.
