This directory tree gathers various assets for Skylighting, the syntax highlighter used by pandoc — currently only themes and stylesheets, but in the future it might host also additional syntax definitions.

Pandoc features a built-in syntax highlighter with over 120 syntaxes definitions (see full list), and eight ready-to-use highlighting styles to choose from.
Highlighted code blocks can optionally have line numbers, and it's also possible to specify the starting line number.
As of pandoc v2, it's now possible to load dynamically custom syntax definitions and styles for highlighting, via the new --syntax-definition=FILE and --highlight-style=STYLE|FILE options.
Since version 1.19.2 (Jan 2017) pandoc switched its internal highlighting engine from highlighting-kate to skylighting.
As of v2.7.2, pandoc supports highlighting for 129 languages/syntaxes. You can query pandoc for the full list via:
