Thanks for the offer. While I’ve left this linger I’ve been mulling over what I
think would be best in the near future. While I still consider this to be
something likely worth replacing/supplimenting htmlfontify with in due course,
given how young this is I suspect that this package could benefit from living
somewhere which lets it mature a bit and possibly make the odd breaking change
as it settles down — like ELPA!

I also feel like with this in ELPA this would be a reasonable optional
dependency for Org. I’m hoping for the ability to (setq org-latex-listings
’engraved) in the future, and potentially spreading it to ox-ascii and ox-html,
maybe even ox-odt if someone gets around to that backend.

I have never done anything with ELPA before though, so I’m liable to ask one or
two annoying questions :P.

All the best,
Timothy

I don’t find this characterisation accurate, if I were to summarise this I’d
call it my slightly-worse-than-htmlize-but-more-generic-and-supports-multiple-formats-package 😛.
