Harnessing emacs syntax highlighting

Harnessing emacs syntax highlighting

[Ken Schutte]

Hi,

I've looked at several syntax highlighters to produce color coded (etc) 
HTML from code, but I don't like any as much as the various highlighting 
modes built into emacs.  I'd like to produce some html that looks just 
like how I view code in emacs (that would work with any language mode 
installed).

Is it possible for emacs to somehow output it's highlighting of a file? 
  Does something like what I'm looking for exist?  If not, would it be 
hard for a emacs-lisp newbie to try to hack this up?

thanks,
Ken

You can get a PostScript version with

  M-x ps-spool-buffer-with-faces

(then save your *PostScript* buffer to a file).

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know about that...

But now that I know "faces" is what I'm asking about, I did a better 
search and found something that I think is exactly what I was looking for,
