In this tutorial, we'll use syntax highlighting to make C++ source code more presentable on a web page. We'll use the Free Software program Highlight to perform the syntax highlighting.

In this video tutorial, I present the powerful syntax higlighting tool, Highlight. I demonstrate how I use Highlight on my Fedora GNU/Linux system to make beautifully formatted C++ code for display in tutorials on my website.
Learning Objectives: -Define syntax highlighting. -Define secondary notation. -Explain exactly what Highlight is. -Explain which operating systems Highlight is available for. -Explain why one would want to highlight C++ code on a web page. -Walk through an example of highlighting C++ code with Highlight, and pasting it on a web page.
