Show HN: Code Snippet Formatter – for email and docs

I got tired of pasting code snippets into emails etc which always look rubbish, sure I could open up an IDE and copy from there but then I have to create new files. Anyway I made a quick tool to do this for me - kudos to torchlight.dev for the syntax highlighting API. Hope someone finds this useful!

Super neat, thanks for posting.

If you're looking for suggestions for improvement, I noticed the line numbers didn't make it when I pasted into Gmail. If that is unexpected it might be worth looking into.

Great feedback, it was intentional - however I think maybe I will add a toggle to give people the option. Thanks!

The Copy to Clipboard button doesn’t seem to be working in Safari (iOS 15).
