The following document captures the default use case: highlight all codeblocks on your webpage on domready
There are a lot of other methods available! e.g. highlight single elements, highlight dynamic content
- Download latest EnlighterJS release
- Copy the files from the
dist/
directory to your public html location - Include the
enlighterjs.min.css
(themes) andenlighterjs.min.js
(library) - Tag the codeblocks on your page (e.g.
pre
tags withdata-enlighter-language
attribute) - Initialize page wide highlighting via one-line of javascript
