Extension:HighlightJS

This extension is a drop-in replacement for the GeSHi syntax highlighter extension. It does exactly the same thing, but instead of using GeSHi to do the highlighting on the server-side, it uses the client-side JavaScript highlighter from highlightjs.org. I've included a few of the most popular languages in the extension bundle, but you can download more from the main site, it supports over a hundred languages!

Installation
Add the following code to your LocalSettings.php (at the bottom).

Usage
Code-blocks are created in the same way as the existing GeSHi one where the code-block is surrounded by a source tag with a language attribute as shown in the following example.

The colour theme can be set using the $wgHighlightJsStyle global variable which by default is empty which means to use the Organic Design code colours. You can set this to any of the sixty or so styles that you can see in the highlight/styles directory (don't include the ".css" in the setting).

Some wikis including this one now use the syntaxhighlight tag instead, so if your wiki already has existing code-blocks that use a different tag, you can set the tag that the HighlightJS extension uses with the $wgHighlightJsMagic global variable.
