Syntax Highlighting

Hyvor Blogs has a powerful syntax highlighter with the following features:

  • Line numbering
  • Line highlighting
  • Diff (+ and -)
  • Line focusing

Most importantly, syntax highlighting is done at the time of rendering posts in our back-end. Therefore, it does not require any additional Javascript or CSS. To change syntax highlighting settings, go to Console → Settings → Post Content.

Annotations

Annotations are used for highlighting, focusing, and numbering lines. You can add annotations to the code block in the Editor. Let’s see some examples.

Annotation
Description
h=1
Highlights the first line
h=1-5
Highlights line 1 to 5
h=1,5,6
Highlights line 1, 5, and 6
h=1-4,7
Highlights line 1 to 4, and then 7
f=1
Focuses number 1 (Works exactly as highlight)
+=12
Highlights the 12th line in green (for Diff add)
-=20
Highlights the 20th line in red (for Diff remove)
renumber=4:21
Number of the 4th line will be changed to 21. The next line will have 22
renumber=6:null
Number of the 6th line will be hidden
h=1 +=12
You can have multiple space separated annotations
numbers=true
Enable line numbers (to override global settings)
numbers=false
Disable line numbers (to override global settings)

Notes

  • Colors for syntax comes from our side, but styles like padding, margins, space between lines, and font sizes comes from the theme of your blog.
  • Under the hood, we use TextMate grammars for syntax highlighting.
