This custom formatter for rouge is needed to generate HTML output
specifically for gitlab. Since its usecase is mostly suitable for
gitlab it had been rejected upstream:

Thanks a lot to @stanhu, @jneen and @tsigo for review!
I have mainly created the rugments fork for the purpose of improving
gitlab's highlighting. Nowadays IMO it works way better than the old
highlight.js solution. But the development is stuck on my side because
of a couple of personal reasons:
* I have finished my studies; last months I was writing my master
thesis. So there was a huge time problem. I am sorry for that.
* I had to move to Munich due to getting a (paid) job. Searching a
flat here is horrible... :)
* Last but not least, maintaining the same code base in two seperate
projects is a mess.
I have decided to switch back to rouge due to several reasons:
* In the beginning I was quite motivated, but since I start
working on my new job next week, the best solution IMO is
switching back to upstream rouge.
* Rouge is continously improving:
https://github.com/jneen/rouge/blob/master/CHANGELOG.mdhttp://rouge.jneen.net/
* There should be absolutely no regressions with this change. Most
likely this pull request will almost fix some minor bugs.
* One less gem in gitlab is a good thing. since Gitlab is quite a
huge bundle of gems. Reducing complexity should be a major
milestone.
Thanks a lot to @stanhu and @jneen for the review!
Add "NEWS" to no_highlight_files
"NEWS" is used in gnu style opensource projects for the changelog. So let's add it to `no_highlight_files`.
See merge request !249
I decided to create a fork of rouge as rouge lacks a HTML formatter with
the required options such as wrapping a line with <span> tags.
Furthermore I was not really convinced about the clarity of rouge's
source code.
Rugments 1.0.0beta3 for now only includes some basic linting and a new
HTML formatter. Everything else should behave the same.
