Syntax Highlighting

Standalone Renders

pandoc uses haskell skylighting to render syntaxhighlighting for various output formats.
You can enable this using the pandoc ... --standalone param.

Generate Style

Dump base style.css

You can dump the raw CSS template (which is rendered using haskell doctemplates) with

pandoc --print-default-data-file=templates/styles.html

Dump base highlighting.css

highlighting-css.template

$highlighting-css$

sample.md

~~~html
<p>placeholder</p>
~~~

pandoc --template=highlighting-css.template sample.md -o highlighting.css

Now highlighting.css will contain the syntaxhighlighting css.
