Help/SyntaxHighlighterPlugin

The SyntaxHighlighter plugin passes all its arguments through a C++ highlighter called "highlight" (available at http://www.andre-simon.de/).

Arguments

Argument

Example

<<SyntaxHighlighter syntax=c style=kr color=emacs
 #include <stdio.h>

 int main() {
 printf("Lalala\n");
 }
>>

will give:

Plugin SyntaxHighlighter failed. sh: highlight: command not found
Plugin SyntaxHighlighter failed. Couldn't start commandline 'highlight --data-dir /usr/share/highlight --style emacs --inline-css -F kr -q -X -f -S c'

I did not use beautifier, because it used up more than 8M of memory on my system and PHP killed it. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with my integration, or with beautifier itself.
