Syntaxed is OctoberCMS implementation of PrismJS. Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind. It’s a spin-off from Dabblet and is tested there daily by thousands.

Add the syntaxed component to your page and render it with the component tag:

{% component 'syntaxed' %}

The only Component Setting is theme. You can select different themes. All code syntax goes in the CMS markup as shown below:

CSS Highlighted Code

<pre><code class="language-css">div { background-color: gray }</code></pre>

PHP Highlighted Code

<pre><code class="language-php">
    class Person{

        public $name;
        public $age;

        function Person(){
            $this->name = $name;
            $this->age = $age;
        }
    }
</code></pre>

Using Syntaxed with Rainlab Blog Plugin

  1. Add Syntaxed Component to Blog Post (ie. Pages --> Blog --> BlogPost). Just drag and drop component
  2. Create a new Blog Post and add your hightlight code as per example above. Thats all you need to do!

    Does this depend on bootstrap being available on the frontend?

    I followed the instructions and then the video. I can see that syntaxed is loading inside the page when I inspect (although there is only 1 prism) reference there in a comment.

    I can even see syntax highlighting happening in the blog post editor window but not on my frontend.

    Take a look here. https://www.bradgillap.com/guide/post/road-paint-test

    Hi Bradley, Thank you for downloading the plugin. Syntaxed plugin doesn't depend on Bootstrap. Let me investigate what is happening on your page. I will get back to you shortly.

    Update: I checked your site, seems you already figured out the issue. It is displaying correctly now. Happy coding. Silvanus

    Well, first of all, I found it very useful, but I couldn't figure out a way to make it work with rainlab blog plugin. I actually did exactly as you described, but somehow it works fine when I placed the test code, eg: '<pre><code class="language-css">.img {width: 100%; height: auto; }</code></pre>', directly into markup. Then, when I tried to place this piece of code into blog post content, it just didn't work as expected. I'm sorry if I couldn't make myself clear enough to understand, but i'll really appreciate if you could help me out with this problem.

    Hi Prashant, Thank you for your review. Regarding issues with Vanilla theme front end display, I will need to test and get back to you. Have you tried on a different theme?

    UPDATE: Prashant, I have tested the Syntaxed plugin on Vanilla theme is working fine. To troubleshoot please do the following:

    1. Update your October CMS to the latest version
    2. Under Components section make sure you have Syntaxed component.
    3. On your page template, drag and drop syntaxed component to the top of template close to title. Save
    4. Enter your code to highlight. See example in documentation.
    5. That's all. I suspect on the template you didn't have syntaxed component. Any issues please let me know. I will be happy to post a video. Cheers, Silvanus
