I've used vim a little bit for my static webpages, here's the result:

http://martin.jambon.free.fr/hello.c.html
http://martin.jambon.free.fr/quine.sh.html
http://martin.jambon.free.fr/micmatch/Makefile.html


The script is:


#!/bin/sh -e

# Usage : any2html <file1> [<file2> ...]
# Requires : vim

[ $# -lt 1 ] && echo "Usage : $0 <fic1> <fic2> ..." && exit 1

while [ -n "$1" ]
do
     file=`basename "$1"`
     cp -f "$1" /tmp
     vim -f +"syn on" +"so \\\$VIMRUNTIME/syntax/2html.vim" +"wq" +"q" /tmp/"$file"
     cp -f /tmp/"$file".html "$1".html
     shift
done
