SyntaxMarker is a lightweight library for applying syntax highlights to code snippets. Its only dependency is TokenJS.
Include the CSS, the lexer (TokenJS), SyntaxMarker, the language-specific file, and call SyntaxMarker.mark() in a script tag.
Surround the snippet in a <pre> tag with the class syntax-marker-highlight and the language, e.g. ruby.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../src/style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<pre class="syntax-marker-highlight ruby">
def add(a, b)
return a + b
end
</pre>
<script src="../lib/lexer.js"></script>
<script src="../src/syntaxMarker.js"></script>
<script src="../src/markers/rubyMarker.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
SyntaxMarker.mark();
</script>
</body>
</html>Currently there is support for Ruby, C#, and Xml/Html. Adding support for additional languages is fairly straightforward.
Note that the Xml marker expects < and > to be replaced with < and >.
