I'm not sure where and how, but there is also a substantial part of python-ly's knowledge that is retrieved directly from LilyPond (either from the sources or by running some LilyPond code). As far as I know python-ly is the most comprehensive syntax highlighting solution on the market (although still 2.18.2), and I think it would be good to find a way use that “knowlegde” to generate syntax highlighting for arbitrary other highlighters from that set of data. > > Personally I'd be more interested in adding lilypond to Pygments. > Pygments can be easily exported to chroma¹ (for Hugo² static site > generator). > And it seems Pygments may be used also in Mkdocs, see this > discussion: > https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/issues/1588 Pygments is also what Pandoc uses for its syntax highlighting, so that would also make sense for that (e.g. generating PDF documentation from Markdown).
