Wanted: Syntax-colouring scripts?

[Tim Tyler]

Are there any syntax colouring scripts out there?

Ones where you provide the script with the path or URL of some source
file - and they return a web page containing correctly-coloured
source code?

I'd be particularly interested in a version in PHP that rendered
HTML/PHP/Javascript.

For PHP...
highlight_string()

and

highlight_file()
Don't know off hand about HTML and JS though.
HTH =)

That manages PHP - though not in my favourite colour scheme.

I see most others messing with the colours are post-processing the HTML
output of this function - aargh! :-(

An open source PHP script which did some decent rendering would be nice.

However at least this is a lot better than nothing at all ;-)

I hacked in someone else's colour changes and made a simple attempt to
dealt with HTML comments.

Example:
http://tt1.org/highlight/?9/index.php

The script:
http://tt1.org/highlight/?highlight/index.php

There is a great deal which could be done to improve legibility...
but I'm reluctant to do any more on the existing foundations.

If a colouring script is written it probably ought to be done properly -
rather than by post-processing some HTML spat out by another program in
a non-standard format.

It's not PHP, but webcpp is good at syntax colouring.

http://webcpp.sourceforge.net/

Easy enough to call from PHP.

I wrote a PHP syntax highlighter that handles HTML:
