Re: [xsl] Highlight.js available as a XPath extension function

["Christophe Marchand cmarchand@xxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't know Pygments, it seems great. At Oxiane, we've developed a 
slide editor that entirely runs in a browser, without any servide-side 
component. That's great to use, both for writing or for presenting. But, 
for our classes, we need a PDF version of slides, and we wanted a 
text-oriented PDF, where text can be copied and pasted. As code 
highlighting was done by highlightJS in editor tool (OS-slides !) - 
which is not yet open-sourced - I wanted to use exactly the same 
highlighter...

You complain about forking processes, but embedding a GraalJS engine in 
Java is not the best solution either... but I load only once GraalJS 
engine per Processor object ! We have to organize a highlighting-race 
for our tools !

See you,
Christophe
