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://manned.org/chroma.

• Highlight source code from a file with the Python lexer and output to stdout:

chroma {{[-l|--lexer]}} {{python}} {{path/to/source_file.py}}

• Highlight source code from a file with the Go lexer and output to an HTML file:

chroma {{[-l|--lexer]}} {{go}} {{[-f|--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 {{[-l|--lexer]}} {{c++}} {{[-f|--formatter]}} {{svg}} {{[-s|--style]}} {{monokai}} > {{path/to/target_file.svg}}

• List available lexers, styles, and formatters:

chroma --list
