Pygments is a Python syntax highlighter that emerged from the Pocoo project. It provides syntax highlighting for a wide range of programming languages and markup formats.

Originally developed by the Pocoo team led by Armin Ronacher and Georg Brandl, Pygments became a widely-used tool for code highlighting in documentation systems, web applications, and development tools.
