My code blocks show up with a light background color, as opposed to the dark background here help.farbox.com/pygments.html . I tried using:
pygmentsuseclasses = false
and downloading these https://github.com/jwarby/jekyll-pygments-themes to robust/static/css. But this simply defaults the code highlighting to the highlight.js theme chosen. The downloaded css files from https://github.com/jwarby/jekyll-pygments-themes I unpacked in robust/static/css which I’m symlinking to my site, and I tried: with and without the .highlight prefix, renaming monokai.css to pygments.css, and renaming monokai.css to syntax.css, but nothing worked. Any ideas to what I’m doing wrong?
Also, any ideas to how I would make a codeblock with pygments with no colorhighlighting, but simply a codeblock on a different background color with monospaced font? I tried with hightlight.js using: no-highlight or nohighlight, but these still produce code with special syntax colored. I’m interested in this because I would like to be able to show eg. terminal output in my blogposts, where I don’t want syntax highlighting.
This is not an answer to your main question, but if you …
pygmentscodefences: "true"
You can youse GitHub style code fences and I believe the default hightlight is “terminal” … if not you can mark it with “bash” after the initial aposrtopphes.
“bash” could also be used with the highlight shortcode to get the “terminal” feel.
Thanks for the tip. However, it’s still not quite optimum as “bash” still does formatting according to the syntax of shellscripting, eg.
```bash
for i in `seq 1 10`;
do
echo $i
done
```
Will show up syntax highlighted, and so will most strings enclosed in quotes. I didn’t know about:
pygmentscodefences: "true"
and it’s cool, but I kinda like using both highlighting.js with triple backticks and pygments with {{< highlight language >}} as it allows me to have two different code syntax formats I can use for differentiation, for example one for generic algorithm/code examples, and one for explicit implementations.
edit: for pygments it seems that text instead of bash does the the job. I would still like to be able to change the background color of the code blocks.
