Convert Source Code Into well Formatted & Syntax Highlighted Text
By sam dias
Highlight is a powerful source code formatter and highlighter that supports more than 150 programming languages, and provides multiple color themes to export code modules into HTML, RTF, XML, LaTeX and TeX format. Since software IDE and development platforms offer support for only a few programming languages, you can use this application to highlight and understand the syntax of any language, and share the code files with highlighted syntax with others to help them understand the programming language code structure. Apart from applying syntax highlighting, it has the ability to convert the source code into formatted text with proper & clear indentation. Highlight is an extensible application, and allows adding plugins, written in LUA framework, to extend the built-in functions, as well as add new features.
Highlight can convert multiple code files into selected file type. All you need is to drag the code files over the main interface to include them in Files tab. From underneath the choose input files section, enter the output folder where files are to be exported; you can enable Write to source directories option to export the source files to their respective folders.

while the bottom-left pane lets you change the code highlighting and formatting settings.

Here, you can also change the default encoding from given Set encoding list.The Output specific tab allows you to specify external CSS (stylesheet file) for applying customized styles and formatting to report, generate index file and configure Line numbering options
