Listing all supported languages

The list is on the Pygments language list. However if you want to dynamically check the list of supported language for the XWiki version used of Pygments, you could put the following in a wiki page, using a user with Programming Rights (and assuming that the Python Macro is installed):

{{python}}
import pygments
from pygments.lexers import get_all_lexers


print "|=Language |=Name |=File Extension |=Mime Types"
for lexer in get_all_lexers():
   print "| ", lexer[0], " | ", ", ".join(lexer[1]), " | ", ", ".join(lexer[2]), " | ", ", ".join(lexer[3])

{{/python}}
