js_highlight.py

js_highlight.py is a script to strip off static syntax highlighting from the html output of nbconvert and to customize the CSS classes of the containing <code> or <pre> elements so that your favorite JS syntax highlighter can pick up the code and do its job.

# This one is for a blog post using Google prettify.
$ nbconvert --to html --template basic MyNotebook.ipynb
$ python $IPYTHON_CONTRIB_DIR/publishing/htmltools/js_highlight.py MyNotebook.html "prettyprint  lang-{lang}".

You still need to include in your website's template code the <script> tag to load the JS syntax highlighter.
