List of all Pygments supported languages with character codes
A listing of all available Pygments languages including their code names.
Recently I have been working on making a Django power forum (that I may release shortly!) and it has built in BBCode highlighting. With the BBCode in my forum you can use any Pygment supported language which is great but I could not for the life of me find a decent resource that lists all the languages with their corresponding character code (to use in BBCode for example) so I decided to collect a list myself. Below is the list of languages with the language code on the left and the language on the right:
