pygments as a syntax highligher

[gar]

I tried to use pygments as a colorer for JS code. But encountered that when leo configured to use pygments - it colors any code as it was python code, no matter which @language is set atop of a node.

I suspect that it was tested with python only, or no other languages have been supported.

There are a really few info about leo+pygments (some words in the docs + a couple of issues on github + some threads here) so I could not find the answer.

Can please somebody advise me how to configure leo to use pygments to highlight js (and others like html, css, c++, .....) since original leo's highlighting schemes are very poor and outdated.

Also I would like to know can I extend existing pygments scheme for some language and teach leo to use this extended scheme

(for instance, I would like force JS colorer to color 'that' and 'self and support `such ${string} syntax` since pygments does not still able to do so)

Thanks in advance!

PS: I almost re-implemented JS scheme in jEdit approach and then thought that it's not necessary since leo can work together with pygments. Should I nevertheless continue with jedit? or take care on pygments way only?

Thanks for this report. I have just created #1520 for this.
