mediawiki-extensions-SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/README

This extension allows source code to be syntax highlighted on the wiki pages.
This README file might be out of date, have a look at the extension page
for updated information:

    https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi

== Requirements ==

This version of the extension has been tested with Pygments 2.11.2 and
MediaWiki 1.36. To get releases of this extension compatible
with earlier versions of MediaWiki, visit:

    https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi

== Installation ==

Add this line to your LocalSettings.php:

    wfLoadExtension( 'SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi' );

By default, this extension will use a bundled copy of Pygments 2.11.2. If you
would like to use a different copy of the library, you can set
$wgPygmentizePath to point to the path to the 'pygmentize' binary.

== Usage ==

On the wiki page, you can now use "source" elements:

<source lang="php">
<?php
    v = "string";    // sample initialization
?>
html text
<?php
    echo v;         // end of php code
?>
</source>

== Parameters ==

For details information of these parameters, see the documentation of Pygments'
HtmlFormatter at <https://pygments.org/docs/formatters/#HtmlFormatter>.

* lang;	      Defines the language.
* line;	      Corresponds to linenos="inline" option.
* start;      Corresponds to linenostart option.
* enclose;    If set to "none", corresponds to the nowrap=1 option.
* inline;     Corresponds to the nowrap=1 option.
* highlight;  Corresponds to hl_lines option (comma separated).
* linelinks;  Lines will have links and anchors with a prefix of the value.
              Similar to the lineanchors+linespans features in Pygments

== Note ==

Pygments is generous about creating HTML elements: highlighting large blocks of
code can easily generate enough of them to crash a browser. As a guard, syntax
highlighting is turned off for code fragments larger than 100 kB.
