Code Highlighter
This extension highlights the code snippets over 350 languages in LibreOffice.
latest release: 2023-11-27 20:50:20
Description
To highlight a code snippet, follow these steps:
- Insert a new Text Box (Insert -> Text Box)
- Copy and paste/write your code snippet into the text box (You can choose any fonts based on your preference)
- Select the text box
- Go to Tools -> Highlight Code -> <Language of the code>
That's it. Your code should be colored based on the syntax.
I have tested only a few languages. If you find any bugs, please report them at GiHub Issues.
Note: This extension uses pygments to color the code. Pygments does not highlight some languages properly. Therefore, you may not get the best outcome for some languages. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Phyton code seems to be broken.
Installation of LibreOffice was done via PortableApps.com
My Version is: 7.1.4.2 (x86)
pythonscript.py", line 1046, in getScript
storageUri = self.provCtx.getStorageUrlFromPersistentUrl(
File "C:\bin\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\App\libreoffice\program\pythonscript.py", line 417, in getStorageUrlFromPersistentUrl
package = self.mapPackageName2Path[ packageName ]

Works very nicely! Not sure what all the fuss is about here. Simply install the dependencies, then go to the Github releases page, click the oxt file. This should open your LO application and install the extension. Worked flawlessly for me. (v1.6 with LO 7.x on Debian) I’m not to fond of the usability (once you have applied a style, it is not associated with the selected text), but that’s a different story.

Worked perfectly for me after renaming it from edb...-whatever-....oxt to simply codehighlighter.oxt and then installing it after taking care of the dependencies

Same as

I had to remove the prefix in the installation file name to have it work as intended.
Otherwise very good work !

Thanks for you work !
If, after installing the python package "pygments" (required by code-highlighter), you get the following error message when trying to run the add-on : "Message: <class 'ImportError'>: No module named 'pygments' ...", it may be because LibreOffice embeds its own version of python, independant of the one running on your system.
In order to properly install pygments to the LibreOffice embedded version of python on linux, you can add it to the folder "/opt/libreofficeX.X/program/python-core-X.X.X/lib/site-packages" where the Xs depend the version of LibreOffice (and its embbeded python) you are running. There should be an equivalent fix for other OSs.
