An on-line syntax highlighter:

Just copy and paste into your document.


http://www.tohtml.com/ created syntax highlighted HTML code for lots of languages. It might be what you're looking for.


If you're using Visual Studio (this might work in Eclipse also, but I never tried) and you copy & paste into Microsoft Word (or any other microsoft product) it will paste the code in whatever color your IDE had. Then you just need to copy the text out of word and into your desired application and it will paste as rich text.

I've only seen this work across Visual Studio to other Microsoft products though so I don't know if it will be any help.


With the new Add-Ons for Google Drive, you can get code highlighting with the Code Pretty add-on.


I've also thought of this. Finally, my solution is to use github gist. Don't forget it also has highlight functionality. Just copy it. :)


Just a few suggestions:

  • Screenshots might be an easy way, but you'll have to make sure the code in the image is big enough and clear enough to read. (not the whole screenshot, just the relevant part)
  • If you can embed html then there are lots of tools to generate syntax highlighted html.

If you write your code in emacs then you might be interested in the htmlize elisp package.
