If you write technical articles about programming or linux systems its very usefull to have a syntax highlighter. For lektor where is a plugin you can use: the [lektor-markdown-highlighter](https://github.com/lektor/lektor-markdown-highlighter) (thanks Armin).

So how to install and configure it? If you have installed lektor you can use this command to enable the highlighter:

$ lektor plugins add markdown-highlighter

Now we create a configuration in configs/ directory. Attention: a fresh lektor installation didn't has this directory so you have to create it by your own. After this create and edit the file markdown-highlighter.ini:

[pygments]
style = colorful

Ok. Mow you ca use syntax highlighting. Put [lexer name] at he start of your code. Here is an example:

```python
import logging
log = logging.get_logger()

for item in items
        print 'value of item is %s' % (item)
        print "hu"
        log.debug(item)

log.debug()
```

import logging
log = logging.get_logger()

for item in items
    print 'value of item is %s' % (item)
    print "hu"
    log.debug(item)

log.debug()
