I use Vim for dynamically syntax-coloring code served by CGIT.

You heard right.

When CGIT presents code out of a repository, it calls a script
in order to convert it to colorized HTML. That script can be customized.

Mine uses expect to run Vim to load the file, set a few settings, and
invoke the :TOhtml command to dump HTML.

That is then post-proocessed to remove the inline style sheet. The web
page it gets embedded into has its own CSS rules for the Vim-generated
HTML tags.
