Well, I just spent the past hour or so trying to get pygments working. All was going well until code started to run over the edge of the container.

After a lot of frustration, during which my monitor almost met an untimely death at the hands of my keyboard, sanity and logic prevailed and it turns out that pygments was using a class that was already defined in my css and used elsewhere. ( I guess that’s what happens when you neglect to read the documentation)

Just to show how my pygments configuration now works here’s a script I wrote a while ago to handle pulseaudio volume through the command line. I generally use this script with keyboard bindings.

I must thank Philip Poots @pootsbook for getting my to try out pygments ( and for getting me to add an rss feed to the blog ) and for his blog which gave me a good starting point.
