Ask HN: How do you print code?

7 points

6 years ago

I would really like to print out stjepang’s library smol. It’s just a few thousand lines of code and I have a feeling that it would be easier for me to understand on paper.

How does anyone do this? I’ve heard that companies sometimes do code reviews on paper, so I figured this would be a solved problem.

Still, I couldn’t find a decent solution anywhere. So there’s the question for Ask HN. How in the world does anyone print code in a reasonable way?

By “reasonable”, I mean:

1. with line numbers,

2. with syntax highlighting,

3. and preferably some sane separation of source files.
