This page documents the 1.4 (latest stable) release. Documentation for other releases can be found here.

Syntax Coloring of Source Code

Trac supports language-specific colorization (syntax highlighting) of source code in WikiFormatted text and the Source Browser.

To perform this, Trac relies on external software packages with support for a great number of programming languages.

Currently Trac supports syntax coloring using GNU Enscript and SilverCity.

To activate syntax coloring, simply install SilverCity and/or Enscript.

Trac will automatically prioritize using SilverCity before Enscript if possible. If neither is available, Trac will display the data as plain text.

Note: Enscript supports a greater number of languages, however SilverCity is generally faster since it is a library, not having to execute an external process.
