Performs syntax highlighting on files visited in the browser based on their extension

Syntaxtic! is a chrome extension for syntax highlighting on source files opened in Chrome. This extension was primarily designed for viewing files hosted in a web accessible version control system that doesn't natively provide highlighting but the usage certainly doesn't end there.

A variety of color themes and default sizes can now be selected from the extension options page.

Supported Languages:
Actionscript (.as .actionscript)
Bash (.sh)
C++ (.cpp .h .cc)
C# (.cs)
C (.c .h)
Clojure (.clj)
CSS (.css)
Diff (.diff .patch)
Erlang (.erl)
Groovy (.groovy)
Go (.go)
JavaScript (.js)
Java (.java)
JavaFX (.fx)
Latex (.tex)
Objective-C (.m, .h)
Perl (.pl .perl .pm)
PlainText (.txt)
PowerShell (.ps1 .ps2)
Python (.py)
Ruby (.rb)
Scala (.scala)
Swift (.swift)
Sql (.sql, .pls)
Typescript (.ts)
VisualBasic (.vb)

Experimental Support:
Bibtex (.bib .bibtex)
Common Lisp (.lisp .emacs)
CSV pretty printing

Any file ending in one of the above extensions will be automatically highlighted using the appropriate grammar.

Any comments or suggestions can be directed to http://twitter.com/matheeeny or submitted as issues to https://github.com/matheeeny/Syntaxtic.

This extension would not be possible without Alex Gorbatchev's fantastic syntax highlighting API available at http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/

Cool. Would be nice the ability to add user extension to be opened as simple text. This would help to read plain text files like for instance ".conf" without downloading on local disk

Very useful. It would be even better with the Solarized color scheme (which doesn't have yet).
