Syntax Coloring of Source Code

TracSyntaxColoring - The Trac Project - Trac (http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSyntaxColoring). Retrieved on 2007-04-05 09:48.

Trac supports language-specific syntax highlighting of source code in wiki formatted text and the repository browser. To do this, Trac uses external libraries with support for a great number of programming languages. Currently Trac supports syntax coloring using one or more of the following packages:

• GNU Enscript
• SilverCity
• Pygments (but needs a plugin for 0.10, see below)

To activate syntax coloring, simply install either one (or more) of these packages. No additional configuration is required, however to modify the colors, have a look at trac/htdocs/css/code.css.
