SyntaxHighlighter

Introduction

SyntaxHighlighter is a fully functional self-contained code syntax highlighter developed in JavaScript. To get an idea of what SyntaxHighlighter is capable of, have a look at the demo page.

The project was started in 2004 and since then has gained a lot of acceptance. Version 2.0 is the new page in history of the project representing a near complete rewrite, clean up, optimization, standard compliance and new features.
