I'll confess I didn't research this deeply, in hopes that someone knows of a library and can point me right at it. Are there any syntax gems out there that'll spit back simple strings and color values, something like: [["def foo\n", "ccffcc"], [" bar()\n", "ffffff" ], ["end", "ccffcc"]] If such a tool exists, I can rejoice, because it'd allow me to build an awsum Prawn based presentation builder. -greg -- Technical Blaag at: http://blog.majesticseacreature.com | Non-tech stuff at: http://metametta.blogspot.com
