[XhmikosR]

This along with Powershell are the lexers I'm personally missing in Rouge :)

Is there any advance on this? My batch files are not getting any highlight.

I almost don't know any Ruby, but can try to help to define the lexer in pseudocode.

Since Rouge is used in Gitlab, it would be very cool to have syntax highlighting for batches.

See gitlab: https://gitlab.com/jjb3/HotChocolatey/blob/master/build.bat
vs github: https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/blob/master/build.bat

We can help for the definition if not on the code.

Same here, would be great to have support for that.

Very cool!
I expect this feature to be merged.

You can see pygments batch lexer definition here for reference. I would love to see this added.

@deadlydog Thanks for the link to the Pygments batcher; that should be helpful. At this stage, we're mostly doing our best to clear through the backlog of PRs that had built up over the past few months but I'd like to eventually start looking at some of the more popular lexer requests.

In the meantime, we have a new lexer development guide that might be helpful for users looking to add a lexer themselves. That's always most welcome!
