Syntax highlighting for code snippets

[alexzanderr]

have you thought to use bat to print highlighted source code ?

like this

can i make a pull request with this idea ?

Bat uses syntect for syntax highlighting I believe.

I considered it, but I refrained from doing it because I didn't want to pull in the required dependencies. I'd however accept it as a PR if it was implemented as a default-disabled, optional feature of the crate. Like @bjorn3 suggested, I think it would be best to use syntect instead of going through bat.

indeed, i was meaning syntect in the background, not bat.

ate. Like @bjorn3 suggested, I think it would be best to use syntect instead of going through bat.

very nice. yes, ofc, i will use syntect, only the library for syntax highlighthing.

in that example i was using bat's api because i was trying to achieve the result fast to see if its working.

but when im going to optimise it, i will use syntect only, which will be much much faster.
