Syntax highlighting for R source code in multiple output formats

github.com/yihui/highr ↗

highr is finished software: one-line releases every year or two

syntax-highlightingknitrr-statsmaintenancedormant
◆Current state
highr does syntax highlighting for knitr output, and every release in this window is a single line of change. The most recent wraps hilight() output in xfun::raw_string() for nicer printing; before that, a rename of two LaTeX command macros and two bumps to the minimum R version. There is no feature work here at all.
◆Where it's heading
This is a completed micro-package in the knitr ecosystem, maintained only to stay installable and consistent with its parent packages. Changes are triggered by knitr's needs or CRAN's requirements rather than by any plan of its own, and the gaps between releases run to years.
◆Prediction
Expect the next release whenever knitr or CRAN requires one, with a similarly single-line changelog.
