## Description

# JupyterLab Pygments Theme

This package contains a syntax coloring theme for [pygments](http://pygments.org/) making use of
the JupyterLab CSS variables.

The goal is to enable the use of JupyterLab's themes with pygments-generated HTML.

## Screencast

In the following screencast, we demonstrate how Pygments-highlighted code can make use of the JupyterLab theme.

## Installation

`jupyterlab_pygments` can be installed with the conda package manager

```
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab_pygments
```

or from pypi

```
pip install jupyterlab_pygments
```

## Dependencies

- `jupyterlab_pygments` requires [pygments](http://pygments.org) version `2.4.1`.
- The CSS variables used by the theme correspond to the CodeMirror syntex coloring
  theme defined in the NPM package [@jupyterlab/codemirror](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jupyterlab/codemirror). Supported versions for `@jupyterlab/codemirror`'s CSS include `0.19.1`, `^1.0`, and, `^2.0`.

## Limitations

Pygments-generated HTML and CSS classes are not granular enough to reproduce
all of the details of codemirror (the JavaScript text editor used by JupyterLab).

This includes the...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides a syntax-highlighting theme for Pygments that applies JupyterLab's CSS variables, enabling JupyterLab's visual styling in Pygments-generated HTML output.

Verdict: A lightweight, dependency-free theme package that brings JupyterLab's visual style to syntax-highlighted code. Dormant maintenance and no known vulnerabilities make it stable for existing projects, though updates to JupyterLab's themes will not be reflected without a new release.
