metalsmith-prismjs v2.1.1

metalsmith-prism

Syntax highlighting for Metalsmith HTML templates using Prism.js

Quickstart

• Install metalsmith-prism with npm

  npm install metalsmith-prism --save-dev

• Add language definition to code block

<code class="language-css">p { color: red }</code>

• Add metalsmith-prism plugin to metalsmith

var metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var metalsmithPrism = require('metalsmith-prism');
metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(metalsmithPrism())
  .build();

• OPTIONAL To use with Markdown code blocks rendered by metalsmith-markdown

var metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var markdown = require('metalsmith-markdown');
var metalsmithPrism = require('metalsmith-prism');
metalsmith(__dirname)
  // Custom langPrefix option needed as markdown uses 'lang-' by default:
  .use(markdown( { langPrefix: 'language-' } ))
  .use(metalsmithPrism())
  .build();

Language support

Supports all programming languages that have a corresponding Prism.js component file. Component files are found in the Prism.js components directory.

JSON

JSON syntax highlighting is enhanced using the following syntax definition

Prism.languages.json = {
  'keys': /".+"(?=:)/g,
  'boolean': /\b(true|false)/g,
  'punctuation': /({|}|:|\[|\]|,)/g,
  'keyword': /\b(null)\b/g
}

<code class="language-json">
{
    ping: "pong"
}
</code>

Options

decode (optional)

• Always decode the html entities when processing language of type markup

Metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(metalsmithPrism({
    decode: true
  }))
