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
