How to convert a source code text file to jpg with syntax highlight using bash?

[Luca Borrione]

I need to create images of the first page of some source code text files, like asp or php or js files for example.
I usually go on through this doing something as

enscript --no-header --pages=1 "${input_file}" -o - | ps2pdf - "${temp_pdf_file}"
convert -quality 100 -density 150x150 -append "${temp_pdf_file}"[0] "${output_file}"
trash "${temp_pdf_file}"

This works nice for my needs, but it obviously outputs an image "as is" with no "eye-candy" features. I was wondering if there's a way to add syntax highlighting too. This might come handy to speed up the creation of presentations of developed works for example

Hello, thank you very much for your tip.
It's a very interesting link.

In the meanwhile I solved my problem using Pygments,
as suggested
here.

However your link is full of information about this issue.
Very appreciated, thanks again.
