hicat :cat:

!image

cat with syntax highlighting. The language is auto-detected through the file
extension.

``sh
hicat index.js
`

Pipe something to hicat. The language will be inferred from the contents.

`sh
curl http://example.com | hicat
`

If hicat fails to detect a language, specify it using -l LANG.

`sh
curl http://example.com | hicat -l xml
`
