DESCRIPTION

12       GNU GNU source-highlight 3.1.9
13
14       Highlight  the syntax of a source file (e.g. Java) into a specific for‐
15       mat (e.g.  HTML)
16
17              source-highlight  [OPTIONS]...  -i  INPUT_FILE  -o   OUTPUT_FILE
18              source-highlight [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...
19
20       -h, --help
21              Print help and exit
22
23       --detailed-help
24              Print help, including all details and hidden options, and exit
25
26       -V, --version
27              Print version and exit
28
29       -i, --input=FILENAME
30              Input file (default=stdin)
31
32       -o, --output=FILENAME
33              Output  file  (default=stdout, when the third invocation form is
34              used). If 'STDOUT' is specified, the output is directed to stan‐
35              dard output
36
37       You can simply specify some files at the command line and also use reg‐
38       ular expressions (for instance *.java).  In this case the name for  the
39       output  files  will  be formed using the name of the source file with a
40       .EXT appended, where EXT is the extension chosen according to the  out‐
41       put format specified (for instance .html).
42
43       -s, --src-lang=STRING
44              source  language (use --lang-list to get the complete list).  If
45              not specified, the source language will be guessed from the file
46              extension.
47

50              tion file
51
52       --outlang-list
53              list all the supported output language and  associated  language
54              definition file
55
56       -f, --out-format=STRING

64       --no-doc
65              cancel the --doc option even if it is implied (e.g., when css is
