- Admin panel to choose theme, default language and Pygments usage (local, external API or auto discover)
- Multiple themes available (github, monokai, railscasts, mustang, among others..)
- Support for
hl_lines(highlighted lines),linenos(line numbers) andlinenostart(line number to start) when using a local installation of Pygments - Works with all Pygments’s supported languages (the full list can be found here)
