Brilliant on so many levels, thank you for this...I can&#x27;t count the number of times I&#x27;ve tried to explain a snippet of code via GMail...it&#x27;s already painful enough to highlight the text and convert it to monospace (which an annoying number of people fail to do)...nevermind also producing human-readable colors.<p>I actually think I&#x27;ll stick to the command-line&#x2F;pipeable script you link to...for teaching purposes, I&#x27;ve wanted to make myself a utility that converts syntax-higlighted code into a PNG...so that I can show the code but make it much more difficult to just copy&#x2F;paste.<p>edit: And of course, the thing that I want, someone has already made and yet I couldn&#x27;t even bother to RTFM. From running `highlight --h` at the command line:<p><pre><code>    SVG output options:

         --height                   set image height (units allowed)
         --width                    set image width (see --height)</code></pre>
