Export to pdf/image with Syntax highlightning - emacs

Question

I have a file open in Emacs which highlights the syntax and I want to share the file (with syntax highlighting) with another person who does not use Emacs.

Is it possible to export the file open in Emacs with syntax highlightning?

Any target format is ok: e.g. HTML, PDF, Image

Answer 1

You can use the command M-x htmlfontify-buffer to create an html file with syntax highlighting from any buffer.

It's included in standard Emacs, definitely in version 24, I'm not sure about 23.

Answer 2

You can use htmlize-buffer that comes with 'htmlize.el' (find it at http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/htmlize.el.cgi (dead link?) or install from MELPA or download from the htmlize Github project. This will create a HTML file with all the syntax highlighting of your current buffer.
