+
+Hugo provides the ability for you to highlight source code from within your
+content. Highlighting is performed by an external python based program called
+pygments and is triggered via an embedded shortcode. If pygments is absent from
+the path, it will silently simply pass the content along unhighlighted.
+
+
+## Disclaimers
+
+ * **Warning** Pygments is relatively slow and our integration with it isn't
+speed optimized. Expect much longer build times when using highlighting
+ * The languages available depends on your pygments installation.
+ * While pygments supports a few different output formats and options we currently
+only support output=html, style=monokai, noclasses=true, and encoding=utf-8.
+ * Styles are inline in order to be supported in syndicated content when references
+to style sheets are not carried over.
+ * We have sought to have the simpliest interface possible, which consequently
+limits configuration. An ambitious user is encouraged to extend the current
+functionality to offer more customization.
+
+## Usage
+Highlight takes exactly one required parameter of language and requires a
+closing shortcode.
+
+## Example
+{{% highlight html %}}
+ {{% highlight html %}}
+ <section id="main">
+ <div>
+ <h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
+ {{ range .Data.Pages }}
+ {{ .Render "summary"}}
+ {{ end }}
+ </div>
+ </section>
+ {{% /highlight %}}
+{{% /highlight %}}
+
+
+## Example Output
+
+{{% highlight html %}}
+ <span style="color: #f92672"><section</span> <span style="color: #a6e22e">id=</span><span style="color: #e6db74">"main"</span><span style="color: #f92672">></span>
+ <span style="color: #f92672"><div></span>
+ <span style="color: #f92672"><h1</span> <span style="color: #a6e22e">id=</span><span style="color: #e6db74">"title"</span><span style="color: #f92672">></span>{{ .Title }}<span style="color: #f92672"></h1></span>
+ {{ range .Data.Pages }}
+ {{ .Render "summary"}}
+ {{ end }}
+ <span style="color: #f92672"></div></span>
+ <span style="color: #f92672"></section></span>
+{{% /highlight %}}
