Highlight.js is a syntax highlighter designed to work with quite a few programming languages and that functions equally well on the server and in the browser. According to the developer, the tool works with any markup, supports over 180 languages and does not rely on any framework. In fact, the app automatically detects the language you are currently using and, in case it is not the one you are using, there are numerous 3rd party plugins for this purpose.

As previously mentioned, the tool works in the browser or web workers and hence, can help you prevent freezing windows, especially when dealing with large chunks of code. To get started in the browser, all you need to do is link to the library along with one of the styles and calling. Following the linking, you should be able to find and highlight code inside of the <pre><code> tags. If the language is not automatically detected, then you can specify it in the class attribute.

The utility allows you to assign an initial value for a data value of variable, meaning that you can add any custom initialization you prefer. You can customize when it should be highlighted and when using the configure and highlightBlock functions.

What's new in Highlight.js 11.9.0:

  • CAVEATS / POTENTIALLY BREAKING CHANGES:
  • Drops support for Node 14.x, which is no longer supported by Node.js.
  • In the node build styles/*.css files now ship un-minified with minified counterparts as: styles/*.min.css mvorisek (this makes things consistent with our cdn builds)
