The SyntaxHighlighter extension displays formatted source code with the <source> tag using the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript library.

Usage

On a wiki page, you can now use "source" elements:

<source lang="javascript" line start="2" highlight="4-6">
// SyntaxHighlighter makes your code snippets beautiful without tiring your servers.
// http://alexgorbatchev.com
var setArray = function(elems) {
    this.length = 0;
    push.apply(this, elems);
    return this;
}
</source>

The above code produces the following result on the page:

// SyntaxHighlighter makes your code snippets beautiful without tiring your servers.
// http://alexgorbatchev.com
var setArray = function(elems) {
    this.length = 0;
    push.apply(this, elems);
    return this;
}

The lang parameter specifies which language you are using. For more information, please refer to the README.md file. To see how the source codes are rendered, please refer to the sample page.
