Ori Livneh 508e926b5d fetchLexers: Pass '--json' to Pygmentize
Use the '--json' flag to get Pygments to output its list of supported
lexers in a machine-readable format. Support for this flag was added (at
our request) to Pygments and included in the 2.11 release[1].

Tested by running updateLexerList.php and confirming empty diff.

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This README file might be out of date, have a look at the extension page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 <http://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).
== 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.
