Writing a filter that will render markdown or highlight source code, the way GitHub does it, more or less. I find that my repos sometimes have "important" information in files other than README.md.
Gah, it sort of works. I don't want the line numbers., and it's wrapped in a pre tag, and a code tag (!?)... I guess I could fake it by adding extra closing and opening tags, and CSS to hide the line numbers? But I'm not liking this...
Oh ye Gods of Algorythms and Elegance, forgive me for I have sinned! This blog post shows how to have #cgit highlight source code and render Markdown. If you can read code, please don't click. If you host cgit, you might want to take a look?

@kensanata Any reason why you use sys.stdout.write() and not just print()?
@deshipu No reason except that’s what the existing code used. I wondered myself. Just for symmetry because of the sys.stdin code?
@kensanata Personally I like to use the fileinput module — it basically gives you what Perl has by default — standard input or passed files. https://docs.python.org/2/library/fileinput.html
