Extension:CodeMirror/en

The CodeMirror extension provides syntax highlighting in MediaWiki's wikitext editor. It adds the button with logo to toolbar that allows switch on/off syntax highlighting. It supports both Classic edit toolbar and WikiEditor toolbar.

By default it is switched off. When switching on, it will replace the standard textarea with the editor provided by CodeMirror library. When switching off, it will be the opposite effect.

You can use your own styles for wikitext highlighting. Used styles available here. You should place your own styles to common.css. If you have found better styles please let me known.
