Comment(by iraikov):

 Thanks for porting colorize to Chicken. Indeed, there is no easy solution
 to syntax highlighting in TeXinfo, and while there are several packages
 for colorized highlighting in LaTeX, they don't quite have the flexibility
 necessary for Scheme code. It would be nice to port the PLT Scheme syntax
 highlighting module (which is based on combinator parsing), but that is
 quite low on my list of priorities. I will mark wiki-parse as obsolete in
 the next few days.

 Replying to [comment:29 sjamaan]:
 > PS: You're absolutely right about the highlight and examples. I've moved
 them to qwiki. The highlighting now uses my new "colorize" egg for
 highlighting, but that only handles html output. For LaTeX and Texinfo it
 still simply puts the code in a preformatted block.

 I'd prefer to keep the colorize egg as unmodified as possible since this
 eases synchronization between our code and Lisppaste's code.
