Example

Usage

Import

There are a few different ways to import code into Carbon:

  • Drop a file onto the editor
  • Append a GitHub gist id to the url (e.g. carbon.now.sh/GIST_ID_HERE)
  • Paste your code directly

Customization

Once you've got all of your code into Carbon, you can customize your image by changing the syntax theme, background color, window theme, or padding.

A note on adding themes/languages

We're happy to accept any PRs adding new themes and languages to Carbon! Currently there are a few ways to do so:

  1. If the theme or language is supported in Codemirror, all you have to do is add a constant for it.

  2. If it's not supported, you can add a Codemirror compliant custom file to implement it and add a constant like above.
