How to export highlighted syntax from IRB

[Jason Lillywhite]

If you look at the Ruby In Twenty Minutes page here
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/ you will see they
have some nice formatted html from IRB console. How does one go about
getting that into a word processor such as MS Word? I need this for a
little book I'm writing on Ruby for numerical methods.

I have been successful in getting nicely formatted code from NetBeans
into Word using the print html command. I use the Dark Pastels theme and
it looks great. Now I just need the IRB printouts...

Thank you!

Here is my best solution so far:

Use http://tryruby.org/ to generate the html I need for my document then
paste it right in.

I would have loved to see it the same color theme as that used on
ruby-lang.org but oh well.

Your could pass your whole code through CodeRay:

--------------------------
require "coderay"

html = CodeRay.scan("puts 'Your Code goes here!'", :ruby).htmlwrap =>
:div)

puts html
------------------------

The according CSS stylesheet is outputted by the shell command

$ coderay_stylesheet

CodeRay is available as a gem:

# gem install coderay
