Source Code Reading

Jamp · 07-15-2009, 11:53 AM

I sometimes want to read some source code (C++ f.e.) and I find reading it on e-book reader (prs 505) unconfortable, mainly because of lack of syntax highlighting and loosing some intendation. Is there any way to convert some source code to reader-friendly format? Readers support some grey shades, bold and italic, so can this be used to highlight? Landscape mode will be good too, it has longer lines. Thanks.

PS: after few months of reading this forum i decided to torture you with my engrish

Start here and then convert the resulting HTML to any format you like.

Thanks, but I am not able to convert that html to something useful. calibre's lrf converter destroy any intendation and epub file works nice, but lines that are too long end somewhere outside of reader.

If you're fine converting to PDF, Notepad++ can print prettified source code. Just use any of the free Ghostscript-based PDF printers.
