#
# Behavior:
#   Userscript for qutebrowser which will take the raw JSON text of the current
#   page, format it using `jq`, will add syntax highlighting using `pygments`,
#   and open the syntax highlighted pretty printed html in a new tab. If the file
#   is larger than 10MB then this script will only indent the json and will forego
#   syntax highlighting using pygments.
#
#   In order to use this script, just start it using `spawn --userscript` from
#   qutebrowser. I recommend using an alias, e.g. put this in the
#   [alias]-section of qutebrowser.conf:
#
#     json = spawn --userscript /path/to/json_format
#
#   Note that the color style defaults to monokai, but a different pygments style
#   can be passed as the first parameter to the script. A full list of the pygments
#   styles can be found at: https://help.farbox.com/pygments.html
