ace editor (static) to highlight code (grunt task)

Vote count:

I am trying to use the "ace-editor" to highlight code for a documentation. I also want to do this in a grunt task.

Has anybody done this before or knows if it is possible?

I am currently using "highlight.js" which works very well, but does not support syntax-highlighting for "less.js"

Tested: (does not highlight as I want)

hljs.highlightAuto(grunt.file.read('myfile.less')).value

Best result: (setting "java" as lang)

hljs.highlight('java',grunt.file.read('myfile.less')).value

It currently looks like this (which is OK but not perfect)

Also appreciated:

any other highlighters that could work (needs to work well for .less code)

More Info

• the documentation is for a less.js mixin library


• I am generating the documentation from the actual library
  
  
  
  • using a git submodule
  
  
  • reading files and then injecting them into a template (jade)
