A BeautifulSoup with Django and Pygments

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Just added syntax highlighting using BeautifulSoup and Pygments. I took the SaltyCrane Blog for inspiration, but in contrast to it, I implemented it as a template filter in a separate application. This is surely not the most performant way, but I’m planning to use memcache, so I think this is ok.

Here an example how to use the filter:

{% load highlight_code %}
{{ my_var_with_code|highlight|safe }}

    Hi, why not share the filter code..?

    At moment i despair adding syntax highlighting to my django test blog. In special when code in mixed up like php+html+javascrip.

    best regards nfo

    I switched from HTML markup to ReST and thus forgot about this. I’ll post something on this later. :-)
