Syntax highlighting

Using Shortcodes for syntax

Using this (shortcode) syntax you can higlight programming syntax in the component library

HTML highlighting

Syntax for markdown (.md) files:

{{</* highlight html */>}}
<div class="myclass">
  This is an example.
</div>
{{</* /highlight  */>}}

Rendered result on this page:

{{< highlight html >}}

PHP shortcode

Syntax for markdown (.md) files:

{{</* php */>}}
  $mform->addElement('passwordunmask', 'password', get_string('label'), $attributes);
{{</* /php  */>}}

Rendered result on this page:

{{< php >}} $mform->addElement('passwordunmask', 'password', get_string('label'), $attributes); {{< /php >}}

Highlight shortcode

Syntax for markdown (.md) files:

{{</* highlight js */>}}
var config = {
    test: null,
    selector: '[data-drag-type=move]'
};
{{</* /highlight  */>}}

Rendered result on this page:

{{< highlight js >}} var config = { test: null, selector: '[data-drag-type=move]' }; {{< /highlight >}}

Example shortcode

The example shortcode shows the HTML source with syntax highlighting and renders it on the page. This shortcode takes the following arguments:

show_markup="true/false" show_preview="true/false"

{{</* example */>}}
<div class="input-group">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <button class="btn btn-primary" type="button">
        <i class="fa fa-search"></i>
    </button>
  </div>
</div>
{{#js}}
    window.console.log('hello');
{{/js}}
{{</* /example  */>}}

{{< example >}}
