## Description

By default, Pygment It will auto discover if Pygments is installed (through command-
v pygmentize). If not, it will use http://pygments.appspot.com to highlight code(
but without support for: highlighted lines, line numbers and line number to start).

 * Syntax-highlighted code cached as post metadata
 * Admin panel to choose theme, default language and Pygments usage (local, external
   API or auto discover)
 * Multiple themes available (github, monokai, railscasts, mustang, among others..)
 * Support for `hl_lines` (highlighted lines), `linenos` (line numbers) and `linenostart`(
   line number to start) when using a local installation of Pygments
 * Works with all Pygments’s supported languages (the full list can be found [here](http://pygments.org/languages/))
