GNU Source-highlight 2.6

[Lorenzo Bettini]

GNU Source-highlight 2.6 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/src-highlite/ and mirrors of that site (see
list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with
syntax highlighting.

You can also find details about new features of source-highlight on my
blog, in this area:

as source languages, and

as output format.

Source-highlight depends on the Boost regex library
(http://www.boost.org/) so you need to install this library (boost
libraries are usually shipped with most distributions).

Source-highlight can also generate cross references; in order to do this
it relies on GNU Ctags, http://ctags.sourceforge.net.

     can be specified

     (thanks to Thomas Klausner)
