Also see Highlight, a syntax highlighting plugin for Ruby on Rails: http://github.com/marcoow/highlight/!

Installation

Installation of the extension requires 4 simple steps.

instally Pygments

The extension uses Pygments (http://pygments.org/) to perform the actual highlightin, so you would have to install that first.

include stylesheets

The syntax_highlighting.css stylesheet is automatically copied to your public/stylesheets directory. All you need to do is to include it in your layout.

Usage

To add highlighted code to a page, use the tag like so:

  <r:code language="ruby">
  class Mylass

def do
puts ‘doing’
end
end
