I found pygmentize thanks to this answer, but it would be great if it could be used to highlight text with less or maybe replace the command.
Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance.

It was easier than I expected. I must to use:

export LESSOPEN='|pygmentize %s'

    without the -R option, less probably won't show the colours, but the raw escape codes

Yes, of course:

pygmentize -g /file/to/show | less -r
