Syntax color in less

If you want syntax highlighting in less, you can use source highlight software:

http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite

In Debian bases systems, package name is source-highlight and you can start using just setting two environment values as below:

[bash light=”true”]export LESSOPEN="| /usr/share/source-highlight/src-hilite-lesspipe.sh %s"[/bash]

 

[bash light=”true”]export LESS=’ -R ‘[/bash]
