Also of note, this program has a very robust CLI conversion options set:

... if you need to publish a lot of code / scripts all at once, this might make sharing that content a lot more friendly. Output options include html, xhtml, latex, tex, odt, rtf and more.

I recently need to do a lot of syntax highlighting while preparing some technical documentation. I have been primarily using hilite.me for this purpose, but after trying this out, I think I will switch to using Highlight instead.
