Sharing code is important, and blogging about it should be easy and beautiful.
That's why Octopress is packed with features to make blogging your code a breeze.
Though Jekyll comes with support for [Pygments syntax highlighting](http://pygments.org),
Octopress makes it way better. Here's how.
- A Sass port of [Solarized syntax highlighting](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) created specifically for Octopress
- Gist code embedding - by [Brandon Tilly](https://gist.github.com/1027674)

- Insert code snippets from your filesystem with a download link.
- Easy inline code blocks with `<figure>` and `<figcaption>` and optional download links.

## Solarized Highlighting
[Solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) has a beautiful syntax highlighting color scheme, but reproducing it requires a highly sophisticated highlighting engine.
[Pygments](http://pygments.org) (the highlighter Jekyll uses) processes code snippets into styleable HTML, but it isn't nearly as powerful as the highlighting engine in Vim for example.
In order to port Solarized theme to octopress, I processed its [test files](https://github.com/altercation/solarized/tree/master/utils/tests) with Pygments and styled the output with Sass while comparing
them to the Vim rendered versions.
Check out the [test page](/docs/blogging/code/test) to see the results.
## Gist Code embedding
All you need is the gist's id and you can easily embed it in your page. This actually downloads a cache of the gist and embeds it in a `<noscript>` tag for RSS
