Wikka Documentation: Syntax Highlighting for Code Blocks

Syntax Highlighting for Code Blocks

See Wikka in action:

Adding a code block

Line-numbers

If geshi_line_numbersin the ConfigurationOptions is enabeld, simply add a ;line-number after the language formatter to display line-numbers starting at line-number.

%%(php;15) <?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?> %%

<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>

Setting a file name for download

If you specify a filename, this will be used for downloading the code.

%%(php;15;test.php) <?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?> %%

test.php (line 15)

<?php
echo "Hello, World!";
?>

Linking to online documention

If you click on a function name, you get to the entry of this function in the online manual of the language (only for some languages). You can try it out with the php-example below.
