-Welcome!
-========
-
-This is the home of Pygments. It is a generic syntax highlighter suitable for
-use in code hosting, forums, wikis or other applications that need to prettify
-source code. Highlights are:
-
-* a wide range of over 300 languages and other text formats is supported
-* special attention is paid to details that increase highlighting quality
-* support for new languages and formats are added easily; most languages use a
- simple regex-based lexing mechanism
-* a number of output formats is available, among them HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI
- sequences
-* it is usable as a command-line tool and as a library
-* ... and it highlights even Perl 6!

-Read more in the :doc:`FAQ list <faq>` or the :doc:`documentation <docs/index>`,
-or `download the latest release <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pygments>`_.

-Like every open-source project, we are always looking for volunteers to help us
-with programming. Python knowledge is required, but don't fear: Python is a very
-clear and easy to learn language.
-
-Development takes place on `Bitbucket
-<https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main>`_, where the Mercurial
-repository, tickets and pull requests can be viewed.
-
-Our primary communication instrument is the IRC channel **#pocoo** on the
-Freenode network. To join it, let your IRC client connect to
-``irc.freenode.net`` and do ``/join #pocoo``.
-
-If you found a bug, just open a ticket in the Bitbucket tracker. Be sure to log
-in to be notified when the issue is fixed -- development is not fast-paced as
-the library is quite stable. You can also send an e-mail to the developers, see
-below.
-
