How to use syntax highlighting

Introduction

srchub has 2 systems for syntaxhighlighting.

• Syntaxhighlighter - http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/
• Prettyprint - https://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/

Syntaxhighliter

This is used when viewing source. You can use it in documentation/wiki as well.

If you would like to have links to lines in your sample code you can wrap your code in a <div id="highlight"> tag

For example:

/* some css */

Note: for C/C++ examples if you are including a header file then you need to use the script tag rather than a pre tag.

Example:

Pros: Looks nicer, ability to select different themes from your project management page

Cons: Have to specify the language

Pretty print

Pretty print is a generic highlighter.

<pre class="prettyprint">
// some code
</pre>

// some code

Pros: It's simple

Cons: The highlighting isn't as good as syntaxhighlighter
