At the moment the content of synchronized files in a data source is rendered as plain text in a <pre>. I think it would be more readable if it were displayed with lines numbers and keyword like def in Python highlighted in colours, like Github displays files.

With Pygments the type of the content can be guessed based on the file extension. Then the contents can be rendered as HTML with coloured keywords.

I'm okay opening this for work provided the implementation is fairly straightforward.
