Inspired by this post. This utility is a simple custom formatter that can be used with Pygments.

To use the formatter, simply run the Pygments script like this:

pygmentize -f bbs -l <source language> <file to format>

Or you can write your own script an take advantage with Pygments's API. The formatter class is at bbshighlighter.formatters.BBSFormatter

A simple Django project is attached in directory haas (stands for "Highlighter as a Service," of course) to serve the formatter as a web app. You can see it in action at http://bbshighlighter.uranusjr.com/.
