Common Lisp Syntax Highlighter

I often quote snippets of Common Lisp in my blog. I thought it'd be cool if I could colorize them, so I generated this app that takes Common Lisp and outputs a syntax colored version in standalone HTML suitable for pasting into a blog. The output HTML has a ton of <span> tags that apply a color style to the text. No stylesheet is necessary.

There's also highlight-lisp: https://github.com/orthecreedence/highlight-lisp it has themes and it can highlight matching parens.
