## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

GNU Source-highlight is a GNU command-line tool and C++ library that turns source files into syntax-highlighted documents in formats such as HTML, ANSI escape sequences, LaTeX, Texinfo, DocBook, ODF, Groff, and others.

### Projektgeschichte

The manual explains that GNU Source-highlight grew out of the older GNU `cpp2html` and `java2html` programs, which were kept as compatibility scripts after the unified `source-highlight` command arrived. The official NEWS file marks version 1.0 as the first Source-highlight release while noting that it already incorporated those earlier tools.

The project moved from a focused source-to-HTML converter into a configurable highlighter: version 2.0 added user-defined input language definitions, version 2.1 added user-defined output language definitions, version 2.2 added ctags-backed cross references, and version 3.0 added a reusable C++ highlighting library.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

The official manual lists many supported languages and output formats, and the NEWS file records additions such as ANSI escape output for `less`, ODF, MediaWiki, HTML5, S-expressions, Groff, Go, Rust, and other language definitions. That breadth made it attractive to distributions and documentation pipelines.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users invoke `source-highlight` to convert source code or plain text into highlighted documents. The package also ships helpers such as `check-regexp`, compatibility scripts such as `cpp2html` and `java2html`, and `src-hilite-lesspipe.sh` for viewing highlighted files through `less`.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

Package nerds care because it is a very GNU-flavored packaging specimen: configurable data files, many generated output targets, shell-compatible helper programs, a library split, `less` integration, Savannah hosting, and a user config at `~/.source-highlight/source-highlight.conf`.

### Zeitleiste

- 1999: Copyright period begins in the official NEWS file.
- 1.0: First Source-highlight release, incorporating existing `cpp2html` and `java2html` programs.
- 2.0: User-defined input language definitions added.
- 2.1: User-defined output format definitions added.
- 2.2: ctags-backed cross references added.
- 3.0: C++ library and `source-highlight-settings` added.
- 2015: Manual edition 3.1.8 documented the broad language and output-format set.
- 2023: Savannah ChangeLog shows modernization work requiring C++11 and replacing Boost shared pointers with standard ones.

### Related projects

- `cpp2html` and `java2html` are predecessor/compatibility tools documented by the GNU manual.
- The manual lists related front-ends and integrations such as Source-highlight-qt, QSource-Highlight, SourceHighlightIDE, Ksrc2highlight, Ikiwiki integration, and Perl/PHP/Python bindings.
