I'm happy to announce the second public release of Pygments, the
generic Python syntax highlighter.

Download it from <http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Pygments>, or

The new features since 0.5.1 include:

  * New lexers: Scheme, Bash, Apache configs, Myghty templates, Groff.
  * New RTF formatter.
  * Added option for the HTML formatter to write the CSS to an external file
    in "full document" mode.
  * Improved guessing methods for various lexers.
  * Support for guessing input encoding added.

    input and output are converted from and optionally to byte strings.

In other news, the Trac 0.11 trunk already includes support for Pygments as
the default highlighting library.

Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of
software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to
prettify source code. Highlights are:

        and ANSI sequences
      * it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
