= CodeRay

You might want to see the original version of this documentation on
http://rd.cYcnus.de/coderay/doc (use Ctrl+Click to open it in its own frame.)

== About
CodeRay is a Ruby library for syntax highlighting.

Syntax highlighting means: You put your code in, and you get it back colored;
Keywords, Strings, Floats, Comments - all in different colors.
And with line numbers.

*Syntax* *Highlighting*...
* makes code easier to read
* lets you detect errors faster
* helps you to understand the syntax of a language
* looks nice
* is what everybody should have on their website
* solves all your problems and makes the girls run after you
