 # Highlight.js
 
 [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/highlightjs/highlight.js.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/highlightjs/highlight.js) [![Greenkeeper badge](https://badges.greenkeeper.io/highlightjs/highlight.js.svg)](https://greenkeeper.io/) [![install size](https://packagephobia.now.sh/badge?p=highlight.js)](https://packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=highlight.js)
 
 Highlight.js is a syntax highlighter written in JavaScript. It works in
 the browser as well as on the server. It works with pretty much any
 markup, doesn’t depend on any framework, and has automatic language
 detection.
 
 #### Upgrading to Version 10
 
 Version 10 is one of the biggest releases in quite some time.  If you're
 upgrading from version 9, there are some breaking changes and things you may
 want to double check first.
 
 Please read [VERSION_10_UPGRADE.md](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/master/VERSION_10_UPGRADE.md) for  high-level summary of breaking changes and any actions you may need to take. See [VERSION_10_BREAKING_CHANGES.md](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/master/VERSION_10_BREAKING_CHANGES.md) for a more detailed list and [CHANGES.md](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/master/CHANGES.md) to learn what else is new.
 
 ##### Support for older versions
 
 Please see [OLD_VERSIONS.md](https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/blob/master/OLD_VERSIONS.md) for support information.
 
 ## Getting Started
 
 The bare minimum for using highlight.js on a web page is linking to the
 library along with one of the styles and calling [`initHighlightingOnLoad`][1]:
 
 ```html
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/styles/default.css">
 <script src="/path/to/highlight.min.js"></script>
 <script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script>
 ```
 
 This will find and highlight code inside of `<pre><code>` tags; it tries
 to detect the language automatically. If automatic detection doesn’t
 work for you, you can specify the language in the `class` attribute:
 
 ```html
 <pre><code class="html">...</code></pre>
 ```
 
 Classes may also be prefixed with either `language-` or `lang-`.
 
 ```html
 <pre><code class="language-html">...</code></pre>
 ```
 
 ### Plaintext and Disabling Highlighting
 
 To style arbitrary text like code, but without any highlighting, use the
 `plaintext` class:
 
 ```html
 <pre><code class="plaintext">...</code></pre>
 ```
 
 To disable highlighting of a tag completely, use the `nohighlight` class:
 
 ```html
 <pre><code class="nohighlight">...</code></pre>
 ```
 
 ### Supported Languages
 
 Highlight.js supports over 180 different languages in the core library.  There are also 3rd party
 language plugins available for additional languages. You can find the full list of supported languages
 in [SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES.md][9].
 
 ## Custom Initialization
 
 When you need a bit more control over the initialization of
 highlight.js, you can use the [`highlightBlock`][3] and [`configure`][4]
 functions. This allows you to control *what* to highlight and *when*.
 
 Here’s an equivalent way to calling [`initHighlightingOnLoad`][1] using
 vanilla JS:
 
 ```js
 document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', (event) => {
   document.querySelectorAll('pre code').forEach((block) => {
     hljs.highlightBlock(block);
   });
 });
 ```
 
 You can use any tags instead of `<pre><code>` to mark up your code. If
 you don't use a container that preserves line breaks you will need to
 configure highlight.js to use the `<br>` tag:
 
 ```js
 hljs.configure({useBR: true});
 
 document.querySelectorAll('div.code').forEach((block) => {
   hljs.highlightBlock(block);
 });
 ```
 
 For other options refer to the documentation for [`configure`][4].
 
 
 ## Using with Vue.js
 
 Simply register the plugin with Vue:
 
 ```js
 Vue.use(hljs.vuePlugin);
 ```
 
 And you'll be provided with a `highlightjs` component for use
 in your templates:
 
 ```html
   <div id="app">
     <!-- bind to a data property named `code` -->
     <highlightjs autodetect :code="code" />
     <!-- or literal code works as well -->
     <highlightjs language='javascript' code="var x = 5;" />
   </div>
 ```
 
 ## Web Workers
 
 You can run highlighting inside a web worker to avoid freezing the browser
 window while dealing with very big chunks of code.
 
 In your main script:
 
 ```js
 addEventListener('load', () => {
   const code = document.querySelector('#code');
   const worker = new Worker('worker.js');
   worker.onmessage = (event) => { code.innerHTML = event.data; }
   worker.postMessage(code.textContent);
 });
 ```
 
 In worker.js:
 
 ```js
 onmessage = (event) => {
   importScripts('<path>/highlight.min.js');
   const result = self.hljs.highlightAuto(event.data);
   postMessage(result.value);
 };
 ```
 
 ## Node.js
 
 You can use highlight.js with node to highlight content before sending it to the browser.
 Make sure to use the `.value` property to get the formatted html.
 For more info about the returned object refer to the api docs https://highlightjs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html
 
 
 ```js
 // require the highlight.js library, including all languages
 const hljs = require('./highlight.js');
 const highlightedCode = hljs.highlightAuto('<span>Hello World!</span>').value
 ```
 
 Or for a smaller footprint... load just the languages you need.
 
 ```js
 const hljs = require("highlight.js/lib/core");  // require only the core library
 // separately require languages
 hljs.registerLanguage('xml', require('highlight.js/lib/languages/xml'));
 
 const highlightedCode = hljs.highlight('xml', '<span>Hello World!</span>').value
 ```
 
 
 ## ES6 Modules
 
 First, you'll likely install via `npm` or `yarn` -- see [Getting the Library](#getting-the-library) below.
 
 In your application:
 
 ```js
 import hljs from 'highlight.js';
 ```
 
 The default import imports all languages. Therefore it is likely to be more efficient to import only the library and the languages you need:
 
 ```js
 import hljs from 'highlight.js/lib/core';
 import javascript from 'highlight.js/lib/languages/javascript';
 hljs.registerLanguage('javascript', javascript);
 ```
 
 To set the syntax highlighting style, if your build tool processes CSS from your JavaScript entry point, you can also import the stylesheet directly as modules:
 
 ```js
 import hljs from 'highlight.js/lib/core';
 import 'highlight.js/styles/github.css';
 ```
 
 
 ## Getting the Library
 
 You can get highlight.js as a hosted, or custom-build, browser script or
 as a server module. Right out of the box the browser script supports
 both AMD and CommonJS, so if you wish you can use RequireJS or
 Browserify without having to build from source. The server module also
 works perfectly fine with Browserify, but there is the option to use a
 build specific to browsers rather than something meant for a server.
 
 
 **Do not link to GitHub directly.** The library is not supposed to work straight
 from the source, it requires building. If none of the pre-packaged options
 work for you refer to the [building documentation][6].
 
 **On Almond.** You need to use the optimizer to give the module a name. For
 example:
 
 ```bash
 r.js -o name=hljs paths.hljs=/path/to/highlight out=highlight.js
 ```
 
 ### CDN Hosted
 
 A prebuilt version of highlight.js bundled with many common languages is hosted by the following CDNs:
 
 **cdnjs** ([link](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/highlight.js))
 
 ```html
 <link rel="stylesheet"
       href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/10.1.2/styles/default.min.css">
 <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/10.1.2/highlight.min.js"></script>
 <!-- and it's easy to individually load additional languages -->
 <script charset="UTF-8"
  src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/highlight.js/10.1.2/languages/go.min.js"></script>
 ```
 
 **jsdelivr** ([link](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release))
 
 ```html
 <link rel="stylesheet"
       href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@10.1.2/build/styles/default.min.css">
 <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/highlightjs/cdn-release@10.1.2/build/highlight.min.js"></script>
 ```
 
 **Note:** *The CDN-hosted `highlight.min.js` package doesn't bundle every language.* It would be
 very large.  You can find our list "common" languages that we bundle by default on our [download page][5].
 
 ### Self Hosting
 
 The [download page][5] can quickly generate a custom bundle including only the languages you need.
 
 Alternatively, you can build a browser package from [source](#source):
 
 ```
 node tools/build.js -t browser :common
 ```
 
 See our [building documentation][6] for more information.
 
 **Note:** Building from source should always result in the smallest size builds.  The website download page is optimized for speed, not size.
 
 
 #### Prebuilt CDN assets
 
 You can also download and self-host the same assets we serve up via our own CDNs.  We publish those builds to the [cdn-release](https://github.com/highlightjs/cdn-release) GitHub repository.  You can easily pull individual files off the CDN endpoints with `curl`, etc; if say you only needed `highlight.min.js` and a single CSS file.
 
 There is also an npm package [@highlightjs/cdn-assets](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@highlightjs/cdn-assets) if pulling the assets in via `npm` or `yarn` would be easier for your build process.
 
 
 ### NPM / Node.js server module
 
 Highlight.js can also be used on the server. The package with all supported languages can be installed from NPM or Yarn:
 
 ```bash
 npm install highlight.js
 # or
 yarn add highlight.js
 ```
 
 Alternatively, you can build it from [source](#source):
 
 ```bash
 node tools/build.js -t node
 ```
 
 See our [building documentation][6] for more information.
