Pygments formatter for xsl-fo output
This is a formatter for pygments <http://pygments.org>
__ that produces
output marked up with tags with the appropriate colour and other
presentational attributes set according to the pygments style in use.
To be useful this must be embeded in a complete xsl-fo document. It was
developed for use with asciidoc <http://asciidoc.org>
__ to produce
PDF's using fop <http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop>
__ with minimal
configuration or extra dependencies.
It is possible that it could be used in more general docbook to pdf tool
chains.
