Hi all today we are going to see How to Add Syntax Highlighting to Any Project hope you all like the page let us see the steps given below
Step 1 — Download the Source Code
You can download the syntax highlighter source files here.
Step 2 — Drag the src Directory into your Project
I generally rename this folder to highlighter. Don’t delete anything within here, unless you don’t anticipate using some of the language specific JavaScript files.
Step 3 — Import the Necessary Files
Within your HTML file (or whichever page is responsible for displaying your view), import both the prettify.css and prettify.js files.
11.<script src=”highlighter/prettify.js”></script>
13.</body>
14.</html>
Notice how we’ve placed our script at the bottom of the page, just before the closing body tag. This is always a smart move, as it improves performance.
Next, we need something to work with! The syntax highlighter will search for either a pre or code element that has a class of prettyprint. Let’s add that now.
Step 4 — Calling the prettyPrint() Function
The last step is to execute the prettyPrint() function. We can place this bit of code at the bottom of the page as well.
11.<pre>
12.(function() {
14.})();
15.</pre>
16.<script src=”highlighter/prettify.js”></script>
17.<script>prettyPrint();</script>
18.</body>
19.</html>
