+Keywords, Strings, Floats, Comments - all in different colors.
+And with line numbers.
+

+* makes code easier to read
+* lets you detect errors faster
+* helps you to understand the syntax of a language
+* looks nice
+* is what everybody should have on their website
+* solves all your problems and makes the girls run after you
+
