Re: [gemoc-dev] Decide for an asciidoc compatible codehighlighter
|
Hi all,
My preferences might go to Pygments for the simple reason that it would make the languages available in LaTeX as well through the package "minted".
But I haven't really looked in detail in the pros and cons of each library, so still debatable of course :)
Cheers,
Erwan
