Htmlize

For a couple of weeks now I've actually had Htmlize installed in my Emacs. The reason for this is that it automatically enables Org-mode's export functions to add syntax highlighting to code blocks. You may have noticed that the blog got slightly less ugly in the recent past, this is why.

(use-package htmlize
  :ensure t
  :pin melpa-stable)

The above call to use-package installs the Htmlize package if it's missing, and forces the use of MELPA Stable as its repository. As mentioned earlier, I try to stick to stable packages whenever possible. Emacs is 'mission critical' to my life, so I can't afford the time and frustration caused by unstable packages. use-package has many more, interesting options that we will use in the coming days.
