Convert vim color schemes to pygments styles.
$ python vimpygments.py molokai.vim > molokai.py
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main pygments
$ cd pygments
$ cp ../molokai.py pygments/styles/molokai.py
$ ./pygmentize -S molokai -f html -a .highlight > molokai.css
Recently, I have grown to love pygments. It gives you syntax highlighting in the browser without heavy Javascript files. It supports just about any programming language on the planet and it's just plain awesome. The only thing that it's lacking is good color schemes. It comes with a dozen themes that will certainly do the trick, but if you're used to looking at pretty code in your favorite editor, the code examples on your website will look a little dull.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you have a favorite colorscheme. I found a script that will turn a vim colorscheme into a Pygments theme. It didn't work perfectly out of the box so I patched it. Copy your vim colorscheme to the same directory as the script and run it like so:
$ python vimpygments.py molokai.vim > molokai.py
This will produce a Python file containing a simple style class that Pygments can use. Next step is to download Pygments:
$ hg clone http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main pygments
And then you will install your new theme:
$ cd pygments
$ cp ../molokai.py pygments/styles/molokai.py
OK, now for the fun part. We will use Pygments to generate the CSS file that you will then use on your website:
$ ./pygmentize -S molokai -f html -a .highlight > molokai.css
If you are a TextMate user, you might be able to get your favorite theme done, too. A lot of popular Vim colorschemes are inspired by TextMate. Sunburst, mustang and idle fingers come to mind. Just find a Vim version and you're good to go.
