pygments.filters.NameHighlightFilter

Highlight a normal Name (and Name.*) token with a different token type.

Example:

filter = NameHighlightFilter(
    names=['foo', 'bar', 'baz'],
    tokentype=Name.Function,
)

This would highlight the names "foo", "bar" and "baz" as functions. Name.Function is the default token type.

Options accepted:

names : list of strings

A list of names that should be given the different token type. There is no default.

tokentype : TokenType or string

A token type or a string containing a token type name that is used for highlighting the strings in names. The default is Name.Function.
