The `highlight` function uses the [Chroma] syntax highlighter, supporting over 200 languages with more than 40 available styles.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
INPUT
|
|
: The code to highlight.
|
|
|
|
LANG
|
|
: The language of the code to highlight. Choose from one of the [supported languages]. Case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
: An optional, comma-separated list of zero or more [options]. Set default values in [site configuration].
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
lineNos
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `false`.\
|
|
Display a number at the beginning of each line.
|
|
|
|
lineNumbersInTable
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `true`.\
|
|
Render the highlighted code in an HTML table with two cells. The left table cell contains the line numbers. The right table cell contains the code, allowing a user to select and copy the code without line numbers. Irrelevant if `lineNos` is false.
|
|
|
|
anchorLineNos
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `false`.\
|
|
Render each line number as an HTML anchor element, and set the `id` attribute of the surrounding `<span>` to the line number. Irrelevant if `lineNos` is false.
|
|
|
|
lineAnchors
|
|
: String. Default is `""`.\
|
|
When rendering a line number as an HTML anchor element, prepend this value to the `id` attribute of the surrounding `<span>`. This provides unique `id` attributes when a page contains two or more code blocks. Irrelevant if `lineNos` or `anchorLineNos` is false.
|
|
|
|
lineNoStart
|
|
: Integer. Default is `1`.\
|
|
The number to display at the beginning of the first line. Irrelevant if `lineNos` is false.
|
|
|
|
hl_Lines
|
|
: String. Default is `""`.\
|
|
A space-separated list of lines to emphasize within the highlighted code. To emphasize lines 2, 3, 4, and 7, set this value to `2-4 7`. This option is independent of the `lineNoStart` option.
|
|
|
|
hl_inline
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `false`.\
|
|
Render the highlighted code without a wrapping container.
|
|
|
|
style
|
|
: String. Default is `monokai`.\
|
|
The CSS styles to apply to the highlighted code. See the [style gallery] for examples. Case-sensitive.
|
|
|
|
noClasses
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `true`.\
|
|
Use inline CSS styles instead of an external CSS file. To use an external CSS file, set this value to `false` and [generate the file with the hugo client][hugo client].
|
|
|
|
tabWidth
|
|
: Integer. Default is `4`.\
|
|
Substitute this number of spaces for each tab character in your highlighted code.
|
|
|
|
guessSyntax
|
|
: Boolean. Default is `false`.\
|
|
If the `LANG` parameter is blank or an unrecognized language, auto-detect the language if possible, otherwise use a fallback language.
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
Instead of specifying both `lineNos` and `lineNumbersInTable`, you can use the following shorthand notation:
|
|
|
|
`lineNos=inline`
|
|
: equivalent to `lineNos=true` and `lineNumbersInTable=false`
|
|
|
|
`lineNos=table`
|
|
: equivalent to `lineNos=true` and `lineNumbersInTable=true`
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{ $input := `fmt.Println("Hello World!")` }}
|
|
{{ transform.Highlight $input "go" }}
|
|
|
|
{{ $input := `console.log('Hello World!');` }}
|
|
{{ $lang := "js" }}
|
|
{{ transform.Highlight $input $lang "lineNos=table, style=api" }}
|
|
|
|
{{ $input := `echo "Hello World!"` }}
|
|
{{ $lang := "bash" }}
|
|
{{ $options := slice "lineNos=table" "style=dracula" }}
|
|
{{ transform.Highlight $input $lang (delimit $options ",") }}
|
|
```
