markdown-it-highlightjs 
Preset to use highlight.js with markdown-it.
Usage
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs'), opts)
// All code blocks will be highlighted.The opts object can contain:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
auto |
boolean | Whether to automatically detect language if not specified. | true |
code |
boolean | Whether to add the hljs class to raw code blocks (not fenced blocks). |
true |
register |
object | Register other languages which are not included in the standard pack. | null |
inline |
boolean | Whether to highlight inline code. | false |
hljs |
object | Provide the instance of highlight.js to use for highlighting | require('highlight.js') |
ignoreIllegals |
boolean | Forces highlighting to finish even in case of detecting illegal syntax for the language instead of throwing an exception. | true |
Register languages
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs'), {
register: {
cypher: require('highlightjs-cypher')
}
})Inline code highlighting
You can enable inline code highlighting by setting inline to true:
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs'), { inline: true })You can specify the language for inline code using Pandoc syntax:
`x=4`{.js}`x=4`{:.js}If you do not specify a language, then highlight.js will attempt to
guess the language if auto is true (which it is by default).
Usage with markdown-it-attrs
If you use markdown-it-attrs, make sure to include it after markdown-it-highlightjs if you want inline code highlighting to work:
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs'), { inline: true })
.use(require('markdown-it-attrs'))Provide the highlight.js instance
You can specify the hljs option to override the default highlight.js
instance with your own:
const hljs = require('highlight.js/lib/core')
hljs.registerLanguage(
'javascript',
require('highlight.js/lib/languages/javascript')
)
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs'), { hljs })Core plugin
You may import the core markdown-it-highlightjs plugin directly,
without any default options. You must specify an instance of
highlight.js for the hljs option.
const hljs = require('highlight.js/lib/core')
const md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-highlightjs/core'), { hljs })
