2001-syntax-highlighter

GNU Nano-style syntax highlighting on the web.

Including in your project

The highlighter is written in pure JavaScript, so no additional libraries are required. Just include the highlight and language files inside your .html project.

<link rel=stylesheet href=path/to/Language.css>
<script src=path/to/Language.js></script>
<script src=path/to/2001.js></script>

path/to/ | -> 2001.js
         | -> Language.js
         | -> Language.css

Usage

Insert code you want to highlight between <code> tags, then add the correct language to let the script provide correct colouring.

<code class=Language>
Lorem Ipsum...
</code>

Features

Function
highlight()	Adds correct syntax highlighting to all <code> blocks inside the file.

Obtaining text from inside a formatted <code> block

var text = document.getElementById(id).innerText;

Custom syntax highlighting

2001 supports different themes within a language.

1. *.JS contains the regex and intended color code.
2. *.CSS matches those color codes into the correct text color. By customising the .CSS file, or creating new files, you can use a different theme for a language.

Contributing
