Thanks! I built this for Keynote presentations specifically. I wanted to be able to write code samples as snippet files, then generate a batch of images I can drop into my presentations.

If you're posting code on a website, you're right – you should prefer <pre><code> and prism.js or highlight.js :)

I like the idea too, but :) would be Chrome Headless capable of producing SVG somehow? Aside usability I think about indexability/SEO aspect of the material. SVG with texts would be excellent for on-line presentations without lecturer, PDFs, books and maybe even partially editable.

I agree, that would also benefit me enough to install a JS monster on my computer, if I could generate SVG or PDF from highlighted code. My current solution being taking Screenpresso screenshots.

My first thought was publication ready pseudo code or code snippets for posters
