CodeRippa takes your source code and turns it into a beautiful PDF file. Currently, it supports 150 languages and 15 themes, all of which are available in TextMate. More syntaxes and themes will be available soon.

Producing PDF from a single file

Example:

$ code_rippa -s ruby -t zenburnesque path_to_single_file.rb

Note that the output file is saved as out.tex in the current directory where code_rippa was called from.

$ pdflatex out.tex			# Saved as out.pdf

	

Producing PDF from a directory

Example:

$ code_rippa -s java -t moc path_to_directory

Note that the output file is saved as out.tex in the current directory where code_rippa was called from.

Then, you'll need to run pdflatex twice. This is because LaTeX needs to generate the bookmarks.

$ pdflatex out.tex			# Saved as out.pdf
$ pdflatex out.tex			# Remember to run this twice!

Note: In case your system doesn't have pdflatex, you can get a LaTeX distribution.

Credits

None of this would be possible without the awesome ultraviolet and spox-ultraviolet and linguist gems. Props to lwheng for providing most of the LaTeX help.

Currently this gem is in its infancy. Any bug reports and feature requests are very welcomed.
