I can test this with demos/big_file.html. I open it in Chrome, double click on the code, copy and paste it to an editor. In UltraEdit I can see that the indend spaces aren't space characters.

I think the paths to css and js in the demo files should be relative and rely on ../ rather than /

It is very nice to have haskell code recognized by your script specially in self-hosted version.
Please keep an eye on this language in your spare time. It would be great esp. for guys like me how want to have haskell config highlighted in their Blog.

Hi
I get undefined when I run this code on my blog

SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;
SyntaxHighlighter.all();

this is the site
http://java-from-the-trenches.blogspot.com/
here there is no error in the firebug console but the code is badly highlighted
if I run that code from the firebug console I got undefined as error

Hi,

I was recently writing a tutorial on my website, only to find when publishing it that the syntax highlighting had really screwed up (for some reason unknown to me).
As can be demonstrated, here: http://www.dev-hq.net/7-Javascript/54-If-and-Else-statements
Using strings that are created using single quotes (apostrophes) inside a function, seems to really mess up the JScript SyntaxHighlighting. Like so:

var name = prompt('What is your name?');
if(name=='Joe') //If the user's name is 'Joe'
{
    alert('Wow, cool – my name is Joe too!');
}
else if(name=='Fred') //If the user's name is 'Fred'
{
    alert('Fred is a pretty generic name...');
}
else if(name=='John') //If the user's name is 'John'
{
    alert('Alright, John?');
}
else if(name=='George') //If the user's name is 'George'
{
    alert('George is a pretty decent name.');
}
else
{
    alert('I have no opinion on your name.');
}

For example, combine 2 brushes and use them appropriately. Like, HTML and Javascript, so everything is nicely highlighted.

Source directories in the current download do not match the directories in the online documentation.

Lots of troubleshooting and firing blindly to finally get it working.

Would it be possible to add HTML highlighting?

As you can see here :
http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1320136666.png

There is a problem with small number in "plain" (html code on the left, result in the browser on the right)

if I have a pre block of code that starts with a blank line, the line is not rendered by SyntaxHighlighter. This appears to happen if the first line contains only whitespace or contains only a newline.

For example, the following pre block:

public class Foo {
}

will be rendered without the initial blank line.

public class Foo {
}

Line numbering and highlighting will all be off by one. The problem also appears to occur for trailing blank lines. Blank lines surrounded by non-blank lines render properly.

As you can see here :
http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1320136666.png

There is a problem when you have multiple print, the color does not remains constant (html code on the left, result in the browser on the right)

I tried both script and pre class methods, and I get empty lines between my lines

For instance this

tar -xf package.tar
cd cde-package/cde-root/temp
../../cde-exec python -c "from scipy import *; print ones(15)"

shows as

1  tar -xf package.tar
2
3  cd cde-package/cde-root/temp
4
5 ../../cde-exec python -c "from scipy import *; print ones(15)"

when a code box needs scrollbars the about button (?) stick over the word and follows when I move the scrollbar.

(using version 3.0.83)

Hi,

when I copy the code from SyntaxHighlighter on Internet Explorer 9.0 (and maybe in earlier versions too) and I paste the code in a editor like notepad or notepad++, I see the code all in one line, for example this is the code:

<ul>
     <li>Example</li>
     <li>Example</li>
     <li>Example</li>
</ul>

And this is what I see in notepad++ after copy paste from IE 9.0:
<ul> <li>Example</li> <li>Example</li> <li>Example</li> </ul>

seems to strip html tag. latest version 3.0.3.

brush: php; html-script: true;

At current you can highlight several lines and you can specify which colour you want to use, but you cannot have different colours for different lines.

It would be very helpful to add support for this.

I'd like to be able to write inline code and have it highlighted.

I use this feature most commonly with names of structures and small expressions (class names, lambdas, or Linq expressions in particular - I'm a C# guy).

Something similar to the result of the `` tags on Stack Overflow, though having real coloring would be great. I'm fine with larger syntax, and having to specify the language I'm using, as long as I can put the snippet inline.

Code Colorer has such a feature, though it doesn't do highlighting - it just makes a grey background.

I'm using SyntaxHighlighter to mark up XML. It works great, but some XML shows nested:

<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdsl1A" value="true">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdsl1B" value="false">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdsl2A" value="true">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdsl2B" value="false">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdsl2OnIsam" value="true">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppAdslOnBr" value="true">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppTvBriding1p" value="false">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppTvBriding2p" value="false">
<hardwareitemcapability capability="SuppVdsl2" value="false">
</hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></hardwareitemcapability></capabilities>

Instead of:

<HardwareItemCapability Value="true" Capability="SuppAdsl1A"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="false" Capability="SuppAdsl1B"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="true" Capability="SuppAdsl2A"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="false" Capability="SuppAdsl2B"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="true" Capability="SuppAdsl2OnIsam"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="true" Capability="SuppAdslOnBr"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="false" Capability="SuppTvBriding1p"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="false" Capability="SuppTvBriding2p"></HardwareItemCapability>
<HardwareItemCapability Value="false" Capability="SuppVdsl2"></HardwareItemCapability>

I'll try to attach an example to this issue. If I can assist in solving it, let me know!

SyntaxHighlighter license notation is a mixture of GPL and LGPL.

1. "You may use any SyntaxHighlighter project under the terms of eigher the MIT License or the GNU General Public License(GPL) Version 3."

However, "GPL" is linked to the LGPL.
http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/about.html

2. distribute the LGPL in github.
   https://github.com/alexgorbatchev/SyntaxHighlighter/blob/master/LGPL-LICENSE

3. The source code has been described as the GPL license.
   "Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses."
   https://github.com/alexgorbatchev/SyntaxHighlighter/blob/master/build/includes/header.txt

LGPL and GPL are different.
I think you should be consistent with LGPL.

For example,

1. http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/about.html

"You may use any SyntaxHighlighter project under the terms of either the MIT License or the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3."
to
"You may use any SyntaxHighlighter project under the terms of either the MIT License or the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) Version 3."

3. https://github.com/alexgorbatchev/SyntaxHighlighter/blob/master/build/includes/header.txt

• @ License
• Dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses.
  to
• @ License
• Dual licensed under the MIT or LGPL licenses.

SyntaxHighlighter is great software, and I want to use.
However, my company is strictly a software license, and I can not use the ambiguous notation software license.

Would you correct representation of the license?

It wold be nice to have word-wrap, only found one way ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6286733/automatic-line-break-in-js-syntaxhighlighter ) but it is not optimal because it makes the line numbers all wrong when a line wraps.

(using version 3.0.83)

previous versions were using swf, and now you removed them.

those features were awesome and i request you to implement them without flash :)

At the moment, brush is case-sensitive - so you have to declare "brush: php" instead "brush: PHP", the proper name of the language, or "brush: java" instead of "brush: Java", for example.

It has led a lot of users to get confused about why it doesn't work - note: we're an educational institution, so they're almost-programmers, not actual programmers, who might be more aware of following instructions to the letter and the importance of case :)

Would it be a huge deal to make the brush case-insensitive? It would be a huge feature from a usability standpoint.

Great plugin, by the way, and thanks :)

When i use SyntaxHighlighter 3.0.83 on pre-elements where the only content is a two-digit number, the output is a single &nbsp; and nothing else. One or three digits works just fine, but not two digits. I thought it was a brush problem (using JScript brush), but get the same behavior with the plain brush.

Example HTML:
<pre class="programlisting brush: javascript">42</pre>

Settings in use:
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['tab-size'] = 4;
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['gutter'] = false;
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;

This is the generated HTML:
<div class="syntaxhighlighter nogutter javascript" id="highlighter_441860"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td class="code"><div class="container"><div class="line number1 index0 alt2">&nbsp;</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

when the codes are long,and you move the scroll bar ,the "?"icon in the codes and can not auto move.
my used version is 3.0.83

I really like the fact that the highlighter turns urls that are in the highlighted code into hyperlinks. However, the majority of the urls that I include in code examples are to specific locations in the page. Currently the hash is not included in the hyperlink and therefore the links don't take users to where I intend.

I've tried several wordpress syntax-highlighting plugins based on SyntaxHighlighter, like WP SyntaxHighlighter etc.
They have a common issue that once the code block expands, it cann't collapse once again.
I found a code-hacking way, reffering http://www.nextpoint.se/?p=126. But it only worked on an old version of SyntaxHighlighter.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi alex
in your current version of SyntaxHighlighter which you host for the blogs. We have a problem. I am using Blogger and the Copy and raw icons are no show and we have just "?" icon.
Do you remove this feature or we're missing something?

In Bash, esac is used to end a case block, just like fi ends if block. esac should be in the keywords list too.

Hello, i'm french. So my english is not perfect.

I use the last SyntaxHighLighter version, on Drupal 6.22.
It work perfectly, only when I paste a code, (http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1315061054.png).

But when I publish my page, its like this : http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1315061133.png

I use SyntaxHighLighter with TinyMCE editor, with Full HTML. Also I have unchecked the "remove backline" case, but it does'nt solved my problem.

Thanks

since SyntaxHighlighter have a check at the top of each brush file:

typeof(require) != 'undefined' ? SyntaxHighlighter = require('shCore').SyntaxHighlighter : null;

it breaks compatibility with AMD modules since require is also available if an AMD loader is available on the page.

the proper check would be:

SyntaxHighlighter = SyntaxHighlighter || (typeof require !== 'undefined'? require('shCore').SyntaxHighlighter : null);

According the the documentation you don't need to include xregexp.js. In the big file demo there is a comment that it should already be included in the final, but it seems to be missing.

Manually including the xregexp.js does work. So either the build or the documentation seems to be wrong.

I got wrong output when put the code like next:

void foo(char *bar)
{
    cout<
Screenshot: http://goo.gl/uEHZL

as this title. there's something wrong! I cannot attache any file, so you can have a look at http://fanxiong.org/blog. thanks!

Hi - I'm using this with the PHP brush
When it parses my php, it automatically converts anything inside the double quotes of a href="" with the url encoded version.

While this could be considered useful for most, I would like to disable this. I've tried locating the code causing it and stopping it but to no avail. The page its screwing up is this one
http://www.jaygilford.com/php/completely-customisable-php-pagination-class/
Here's a screenshot of the issue

Please can someone help me fix this?

Thanks

Currently, the tabwidth is set to 4 spaces. Ideally, this would be configurable. It is possible to get around this by using spaces, rather than tabs, in the code itself, but this is tedious and annoying. :)

In the [vb] environment, if I use

it is transformed to:

Hello Alex,
Thank you really for this nice code and application, hope you all success.

this is the first time trying to use it, after long search on google about how to display the toolbar, I found on your site
it is removed.

Is it possible to display the same toolbar as in V2 for copy/source/print etc icons.
This is a very important feature do not know why you removed it. The new copy method does not work well on all
code area's and also how the regular user will know how to do that unless you post information above each code
block "Double click inside the code to select".
Thank you

Hi,
How does this Pre class thing work? I'm creating a mini-pastebin and so far i got this part:

So it finds the right language.js file, but how about the pre class, how can i make that auto? I'm not quite understanding this page: http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/api/autoloader.html I'm afraid.

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the scrollbars? - if so, how? :D

Hi — thanks for all your work on this, it seems to be one of the best syntax highlighters out there.

Question: Have you given any thought to small screens? Just wondering if you (or anyone) has worked on any media-query-based alternative presentations for the script.

Thanks!

may be like this

<pre class="brush: cpp; name: 'test.cpp'>...</pre>

test.cpp

I've tried using the xml brush, and other brushes with html script set to true, but nothing seems to work properly. Both the less than, greater than, forward slash, and contents of any tag, are assigned the class "plain". The equals sign is alright when colored as plain, but the rest makes it look horrible.Is there a way to adjust the xml brush to work in this way?

Currently the whole section below is colored as being a comment.
/*

• Comment 1
  */

void blahBlah() {}

/*

• Comment 2
  */

Reason: https://github.com/alexgorbatchev/SyntaxHighlighter/blob/29d0a9463c7dbc2979b62c3a9b38c25ef0bc96a4/scripts/shBrushJava.js#L18

RegExp for Java comment reads:
"//*([^*][\s\S]_)?_//gm"

Where it should read:
"//*([^*][\s\S]_?)?_//gm"

Everything between two sequences of '"' (single quote, double quote, single quote) is highlighted as a string.

a = '"' # single/double/single quote

everything between a and c is highlighted as a string

c = '"' # single/double/single quote

This only happens when there are 2 '"' sequences. If one of those sequences uses '"' or inserts spaces ' " " the code between them is not highlighted as a string.

Hello,

When you have code with entities, like &, the brush receives & instead of just. In the case of Clojure it breaks because the ; at the end of it matches starting a comment, so we end up with &;, with the ; highligted as comment. I found a workaround but I think this is a bug, right? I'll post a link to the workaround once it's public.

In Chrome at least, even if the code just has a single ampersand: &, the brush ends up receiving the entity &.

See title.

We are currently using the SyntaxHighlighter lib in our product, Confluence.

We have had a few requests for the ability to highlight multiple code blocks with different styles on the same page.

Is there any particular rhyme or reason to the PHP built-in functions that are / aren't included in the highlighting? I see that it's based on a list, and I've noticed several that aren't included, such as define(), constant(), ob_start(), ob_get_clean().

This is what I have:
