OK, then I tried to link to some pasties and it does not work on this  
wiki.

But indeed highlight seems to be nice and is very flexible in its  
input. In particular it accepts input from stdin (where TM pipe your  
text). So I installed it from macports but I don't have all the  
options you have (--inlince-css, --enclose-pre etc.) because the  
version there is too old.

Still a simple, one language (R here) bundle command could be:

    highlight -X -l --include-style --syntax=R --style=print

    input set to selection or document
    output set to new document (or discard and add "| pbcopy" at the end  
of the command).

This feeds the curent selection or document to highlight directly, not  
need for the $TM_SELECTED_TEXT (and this solves your problems caused  
by shell expansion I guess).

But creating a temporary file might still be desirable: if you create  
it with the same extension as the current file, highlight will be able  
to recognize the language and your bundle command will work for any  
language.

Attached is my bundle item (currently set to display the HTML, pipe to  
pbcopy if you want to copy). Here is the code:

# Extract file extension
extension=$(echo "$TM_FILEPATH" | awk -F "." {'print $NF'})

# Create a unique temporary file
tmpname=$(mktemp /tmp/TMtemp.XXXX)
tmpfile="$tmpname.$extension"

# Capture TM selection/Document
cat > $tmpfile

# Feed that to highlight
highlight --input="$tmpfile" -X -l --include-style --doc-title=$ 
(basename "$TM_FILEPATH") --style="vim-dark"
