code files using coderay.

And to make things even easier it launches your
browser for you

Is this behavior available separately? I had been thinking
of making a GEM for it to use with local-only Camping apps.
It should open a new tab on an existing browser if possible.

I have C code fragments for Unix (Netscape X-properties API),
Windows (several forms) and Msc OS/X, but haven't integrated
them under one API.

Speaking of which, Jeremy, what's the status of that?

Searching for the time to rewrite the guts so that it can support more
than just browsers for now. I may get to some of it this weekend.

gem install launchy

Currently it only supports launching browsers. That will be changing in
the near future.
