# `tree-sitter highlight`
You can run syntax highlighting on an arbitrary file using `tree-sitter highlight`. This can either output colors directly
to your terminal using ANSI escape codes, or produce HTML (if the `--html` flag is passed). For more information, see
[the syntax highlighting page](../3-syntax-highlighting.md).
```bash
tree-sitter highlight [OPTIONS] [PATHS]... # Aliases: hi
```
## Options
### `-H/--html`
Output an HTML document with syntax highlighting.
### `--css-classes`
Output HTML with CSS classes instead of inline styles.
### `--check`
Check that the highlighting captures conform strictly to the standards.
### `--captures-path <CAPTURES_PATH>`
The path to a file with captures. These captures would be considered the "standard" captures to compare against.
### `--query-paths <QUERY_PATHS>`
The paths to query files to use for syntax highlighting. These should end in `highlights.scm`.
### `--scope <SCOPE>`
The language scope to use for syntax highlighting. This is useful when the language is ambiguous.
### `-t/--time`
Print the time taken to highlight the file.
### `-q/--quiet`
Suppress main output.
### `--paths <PATHS_FILE>`
The path to a file that contains paths to source files to highlight
### `--config-path <CONFIG_PATH>`
The path to an alternative configuration (`config.json`) file. See [the init-config command](./init-config.md) for more information.
