There are many ways you can get stylized code snippets on your static website, from javascript libraries to embedded iframes. Some of these techniques are super easy, some are more complex, but if you write your blog using markdown, there is no better than Pygments.
As long as your blog uses Markdown or is set up to use Pygments for codeblocks
, setting up stylized code should be simple. For this blog, I use Mynt, and to stylize a codeblock
with specific code type, you simplely add the type of code in curly braces after the backticks. (i.e. { python }
)
And to get the CSS required to work with Pygments, run the following command:
$ pygmentize -S perldoc -f html > pygemtize-perldoc.css
That should be all that you need for setting up Pygments on your static blog.
