Rouge is a pure Ruby syntax highlighter. It can highlight over 200 different languages, and output HTML or ANSI 256-color text.
Its HTML output is compatible with stylesheets designed for Pygments.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports 225 languages and counting, including Ruby, JavaScript, Swift, Go, C++, and Haskell. Our contributors are adding more languages all the time.
- Aims for the highest quality lexing in all its supported languages, even with strange features and odd corner cases.
