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

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