Source to .html converters by Florian Schintke and Martin Kammerhofer

Here are some converters for displaying sources highlighted in the WWW. These programs can work as CGI scripts and can convert your sources on the fly without the need for extra space on the harddisk.

These programs are very fast. To convert 0.5 MB in one file c2html needed 0.5 seconds on a Pentium MMX with 200 MHz. Another converter that is written in perl needed 15 minutes for the same file on the same machine. Think about the load on your server if such a program would be used as CGI-Script.

Please send bug reports and other feedback to schintke@gmx.de.

    A perl script, that can also work as CGI. This program hilights more than my programs, but is very slow. To convert 0.5MB source code in one file it needed 15 minutes and my c2html needed 0.5 seconds (a half second). Think about the load on your server if used as CGI-Script.
