try on your machine
The command "pygmentize -l ${javascript} ${input_file}" is used to execute the pygmentize command-line tool, which is used for syntax highlighting source code. Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "pygmentize": This is the name of the command-line tool that will be executed.
- "-l": This option is used to specify the language lexer that determines how the code will be highlighted.
- "${javascript}": This is a placeholder for a language name or lexer. In this case, it is indicating that the code within the input file should be highlighted as JavaScript code.
- "${input_file}": This is a placeholder for the path to the input file that contains the source code you want to highlight.
When you execute this command with the appropriate values for ${javascript} and ${input_file}, the pygmentize tool will read the contents of the input file, apply syntax highlighting according to the specified language lexer, and display the highlighted code in the output.
