## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

Chroma is a pure-Go general-purpose syntax highlighter, usable both as a Go library and as the `chroma` command-line tool.

### Projektgeschichte

The GitHub repository was created in June 2017. The README describes Chroma as converting source code and structured text into highlighted HTML, ANSI-colored text, and other output, with lexers, formatters, and styles modeled heavily on Pygments.

The project published v0.1.0 in September 2017, v2.0.0 in May 2022, and continued a fast v2 release line through 2026, with v3 alpha releases introducing Go iterator changes and a new module path.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

Chroma's adoption is partly library-driven: it has Go package documentation, a playground, and a CLI, while static-site and documentation tooling can embed it to avoid a Python/Pygments runtime. Homebrew packages the CLI and reports stable version 2.27.0.

The supplied package-manager facts list Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Nix, and Scoop packages, showing distribution beyond the Go module ecosystem.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Library users select a lexer, formatter, and style, or use the `quick.Highlight` helper. CLI users can run `chroma` directly and inspect available lexers with `chroma --list`.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Chroma is package-nerd interesting because it made Pygments-style highlighting available as a native Go dependency and standalone binary. That matters for self-contained Go programs, static-site generators, and container images that want syntax highlighting without a Python toolchain.

### Zeitleiste

- 2017: Repository created and v0.1.0 release published.
- 2022: v2.0.0 release published.
- 2025: v2 line continues with frequent releases through v2.20.0.
- 2026: v2.27.0 and v3.0.0-alpha releases published.

### Related projects

- Pygments is the explicit design ancestor; the README says Chroma is based heavily on it and includes translators for Pygments lexers and styles. Related surfaces include Go package documentation, the Chroma playground, and the `pygments2chroma_xml.py` conversion script.
