Description

(Original issue 1315 created by timotheecour on 2016-12-31T17:26:43.853012+00:00)

In the process of picking the right tool [see also http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/38481/gnu-source-highlight-alternative/38485#38485]
I see a comparison in http://petereisentraut.blogspot.com/2009/07/adding-color-to-console-pygments-vs.html against source-highlight; but source-highlight seems dead and highlight is better (eg 212 languages supported); is there a comparison to highlight?
