hijs
hijs is a dead-simple syntax highlighter for JavaScript code on the browser.
By default, it highlights everything inside <code> blocks.
If you have command-line snippets, such as:
$ ls -l > /dev/null
it will skip those, cause they ain't no JavaScript.
usage
Put this at the end of your <body>:
<script src="hijs.js"></script>
If you would like to specify what gets highlighted, set the global hijs variable before you include the script:
window.hijs = '.highlight';
example
Code extract from http-console, highlighted by hijs:
philosophy
hijs is a simple solution to a potentially complicated problem. It won't fit all your needs, but if what you're trying to achieve is simple enough, hijs might be the tool for you.
styling
hijs wraps tokens in <span> tags. You can style them like so:
code .keyword { font-weight: bold }
code .string, code .regexp { color: green }
code .class, code .special { color: blue }
code .number { color: pink }
code .comment { color: grey }
