If I didn't want colours, I could just cut and paste the text :) But on a big screen, to a not-necessarily-clojure-literate audience, colours help comprehension.
As for presenting in emacs or another plain-text format - I'd agree for mostly-technical presentations with lots of text. This was less technical, and involved lots of pictures and diagrams, in which case a gui environment makes life much easier. Thanks Phil for htmlize.el - not sure how I missed that, it's much like htmlfontify, but handles rainbow parens which is nice. - Korny On 18 May 2013 15:31, atkaaz <atk...@gmail.com> wrote: > I feel silly for even suggesting but is pprint not good enough? do you > need colors?
