+In my [[last post|optimizing-xsane-s-scanned-pdfs]], I used ikiwiki‘s [highlight
+plugin][iwhl] to highlight PDF files. But since the underlying [highlight][]
+library did not support highlighting for PDF files yet, I had to write my own
+highlighting definition. Due to limitiations in the library, it's not perfect;
+for example, it does not highlight things inside streams, but in case you’re
+interested, you can get the source:

+* [`pdf.lang`](/projects/pdf.lang)
