== About
CodeRay is a Ruby library for syntax highlighting.

Syntax highlighting means: You put your code in, and you get it back colored;
Keywords, strings, floats, comments - all in different colors.
And with line numbers.

*Syntax* *Highlighting*...
* makes code easier to read and maintain
* lets you detect syntax errors faster
* helps you to understand the syntax of a language
* looks nice
* is what everybody should have on their website
* solves all your problems and makes the girls run after you

== Credits

=== Special Thanks to

* licenser (Heinz N. Gies) for ending my QBasic career, inventing the Coder
  project and the input/output plugin system.
  CodeRay would not exist without him.
* bovi (Daniel Bovensiepen) for helping me out on various occasions.

=== Thanks to

* Caleb Clausen for writing RubyLexer (see
  http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubylexer) and lots of very interesting mail
  traffic
* birkenfeld (Georg Brandl) and mitsuhiku (Arnim Ronacher) for PyKleur, now pygments.
  You guys rock!
* Jamis Buck for writing Syntax (see http://rubyforge.org/projects/syntax)
  I got some useful ideas from it.
* Doug Kearns and everyone else who worked on ruby.vim - it not only helped me
  coding CodeRay, but also gave me a wonderful target to reach for the Ruby
  scanner.
* everyone who uses CodeBB on http://www.rubyforen.de and http://www.python-forum.de
* iGEL, magichisoka, manveru, WoNáDo and everyone I forgot from rubyforen.de
* Dethix from ruby-mine.de
* zickzackw
* Dookie (who is no longer with us...) and Leonidas from http://www.python-forum.de
* Andreas Schwarz for finding out that CaseIgnoringWordList was not case
  ignoring! Such things really make you write tests.
* closure for the first version of the Scheme scanner.
* Stefan Walk for the first version of the JavaScript and PHP scanners.
* Josh Goebel for another version of the JavaScript scanner, a SQL and a Diff scanner.
* Jonathan Younger for pointing out the licence confusion caused by wrong LICENSE file.
