Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2018-01-18 20:31:15 UTC 
gtk-doc uses external programs to generated syntax highlighted code snippets. Instead of shelling out to highligh/source-highlight or vim, we should see if we can use the pygments python library. This can be faster and be more portable.


This is the code in question:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk-doc/tree/gtkdoc/fixxref.py#n223

and here are samples for pygments
