Basic syntax highlighter
Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind. To highlight code syntax, add .language-*
class to the <code>
element. By default, highlighter displays a small text block with current language on the top right corner. This functionality is an extra option, provided by "Show language" prism.js addon.
Example
<!-- Navbar markup --><div class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark"> <div class="navbar-brand"> <a href="index.html" class="d-inline-block"> <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Limitless"> </a> </div> <div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar-mobile"> <ul class="navbar-nav mr-md-auto"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> </div></div><!-- /navbar markup -->
Line highlight
Highlights specific lines and/or line ranges with light green color and displays start and end line numbers. To highlight specific line, add data-line="*"
attribute, to highlight line ranges add data-line="*-*"
attribute. Multiple lines or ranges are also supported, to use just separate values with comma: data-line="*, *-*"
. This prism addon is included to the current plugin build by default.
Example
<!-- Navbar markup --><div class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark"> <div class="navbar-brand"> <a href="index.html" class="d-inline-block"> <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Limitless"> </a> </div> <div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar-mobile"> <ul class="navbar-nav mr-md-auto"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> </div></div><!-- /navbar markup -->
Line numbers
Line number at the beginning of code lines. Obviously, this is supposed to work only for code blocks - <pre><code>
- and not for inline code. To use this feature, add .line-numbers
class to your desired <pre>
element and line-numbers plugin will take care. This prism addon is included to the current plugin build by default.
Example
<!-- Navbar markup --><div class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark"> <div class="navbar-brand"> <a href="index.html" class="d-inline-block"> <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Limitless"> </a> </div> <div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar-mobile"> <ul class="navbar-nav mr-md-auto"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> </div></div><!-- /navbar markup -->
Define starting line
Defines starting line number at the beginning of code lines. This feature works as an optional addition to the line number
plugin. To set a custom starting line number, add data-start="*"
attribute to the code block markup and it will shift the line counter. Negative values are also supported. This prism feature is also included by default.
Example
<!-- Navbar markup --><div class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark"> <div class="navbar-brand"> <a href="index.html" class="d-inline-block"> <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Limitless"> </a> </div> <div class="navbar-collapse collapse" id="navbar-mobile"> <ul class="navbar-nav mr-md-auto"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="navbar-nav-link">...</li> <li class="navbar-nav-link dropdown">...</li> </ul> </div></div><!-- /navbar markup -->
