# pygmentize
> Python-based syntax highlighter.
- Highlight file syntax and print to standard output (language is inferred from the file extension):
`pygmentize {{file.py}}`
- Explicitly set the language for syntax highlighting:
`pygmentize -l {{javascript}} {{input_file}}`
- List available lexers (processors for input languages):
`pygmentize -L lexers`
- Save output to a file in HTML format:
`pygmentize -f html -o {{output_file.html}} {{input_file.py}}`
- List available output formats:
`pygmentize -L formatters`
- Output an HTML file, with additional formatter options (full page, with line numbers):
`pygmentize -f html -O "full,linenos=True" -o {{output_file.html}} {{input_file}}`
