Hello Thorbjoern,

I am in favor of "code prettifiers" as long as they allow us to emphasize, e.g. present in bold, selected parts of the code, but if not, then I prefer ugly. :-)

Hello Thorbjørn,

Do you intend to pursue this effort on coloring? As this revision stands, I don't see the point... Put differently, it looks like a lot of effort for a meager result. WDYT?

Been busy with other things the last few days.

Meager? Don't think so! And it was trivially simple to do with vim, so if it would make it more readable it is a benefit to the documentation.

I was inspired by the way StackOverflow presents its code snippets, and it turns out they use Prettify:

http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/

which uses Javascript. Perhaps that would both be easier, simpler to maintain and ... well... prettier :)


Please don't toppost.

I'll revert it for now, and come back to it later. I found that Bruce Eckell uses it in his book Thinking in C++ so there is at least another author I can locate who use it :)
