editSee it in action:
Usage
editJust surround your code like this (note that your code must be HTML escaped):
<pre class="brush:[code-alias]"> ...Your Code Here... </pre>
or like this:
<script type="syntaxhighlighter" class="brush: js"><![CDATA[ ...Your Code Here... ]]></script>
Replace the [code-alias]
segment with the type of code you have. For a list of all available brush aliases, see here. There's some pros and cons for each of the above options here.
Admins can provide additional aliases (like <plsql> your code </plsql>) by adding to the extension file code like this:
// This is a comment. Comments are not displayed in the browser //
$wgHooks['ParserFirstCallInit'][] = 'syntaxHighlightingExtension';
function syntaxHighlightingExtension( &$parser ) {
$parser->setHook( 'PLSQL', 'syntaxHighlightingRenderHtml' );
return true;
}
function syntaxHighlightingRenderHtml($input, $args, $parser, $frame){
return "<pre class=\"brush:sql\">\n" . $input . "</pre>";
}
