Manual

You can also download the latest release zip or tarball and include it in your webpage, after showdown:

Enabling the extension

After including the extension in your application, you just need to enable it in showdown.

var converter = new showdown.Converter({extensions: ['prettify']});

Example

var converter = new showdown.Converter({extensions: ['prettify']}),
    input = "Here's a simple hello world in javascript:\n" +
            "\n" +
            "    alert('Hello World!');\n" +
            "\n" +
            "The `alert` function is a build-in global from `window`.";
    html = converter.makeHtml(input);
    console.log(html);

This should output the equivalent to:

<p>Here's a simple hello world in javascript:</p>

<pre class="prettyprint linenums" tabIndex="0"><code data-inner="1">alert('Hello World!');
</code></pre>

<p>The <code class="prettyprint">alert</code> function is a build-in global from <code class="prettyprint">window</code>.</p>
