a 2.2k library to hilight any code
Today I learned about existence of microlight.js (archived version) - a small library to hilight any code.
Of course, it has some bugs and incompatibilities with Bash
- like, it has a list of keywords, among which is "from"
(it's a keyword in some languages),
and it highlights it in rsync --exclude-from=/file/name.
Or, it has a simple regexp detector, which considers everything
between forward slashes to be an regexp.
So if you put a UNIX path somewhere outside the quotes
- then it will hilight it like an regexp, like this:
/usr/bin/bash.
But what did you expect from a 2.2k library? Language detection?!
I'm actually using a modified version by WolfieZero,
which adds classes instead of hardcoded styles
(because I think that styles implemented by original author
are not very good for white background),
and modified it a bit further to use querySelectorAll function
instead of getElementsByClassName
and to act by default on all <code> elements
(to make it out-of-the-box-compatible with markdown-generated markup)
My modified version should appear below:
