Hugo uses [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) as its code highlighter; it is built in Go and is really, really fast.
|
|
|
|
## Configure syntax highlighter
|
|
|
|
See [Configure Highlight](/getting-started/configuration-markup#highlight).
|
|
|
|
## Generate syntax highlighter CSS
|
|
|
|
If you run with `markup.highlight.noClasses=false` in your site configuration, you need a style sheet. The style sheet will override the style specified in [`markup.highlight.style`](/functions/transform/highlight/#options).
|
|
|
|
You can generate one with Hugo:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
hugo gen chromastyles --style=monokai > syntax.css
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `hugo gen chromastyles -h` for more options. See https://xyproto.github.io/splash/docs/ for a gallery of available styles.
|
|
|
|
## Highlight shortcode
|
|
|
|
Highlighting is carried out via the built-in [`highlight` shortcode](/content-management/shortcodes/#highlight). It takes exactly one required argument for the programming language to be highlighted and requires a closing tag.
|
|
|
|
Options:
|
|
|
|
* `linenos`: configure line numbers. Valid values are `true`, `false`, `table`, or `inline`. `false` will turn off line numbers if it's configured to be on in site configuration. `table` will give copy-and-paste friendly code blocks.
|
|
* `hl_lines`: lists a set of line numbers or line number ranges to be highlighted.
|
|
* `linenostart=199`: starts the line number count from 199.
|
|
* `anchorlinenos`: Configure anchors on line numbers. Valid values are `true` or `false`;
|
|
* `lineanchors`: Configure a prefix for the anchors on line numbers. Will be suffixed with `-`, so linking to the line number 1 with the option `lineanchors=prefix` adds the anchor `prefix-1` to the page.
|
|
* `hl_inline` Highlight inside a `<code>` (inline HTML element) tag. Valid values are `true` or `false`. The `code` tag will get a class with name `code-inline`.
|
|
|
|
### Example: highlight shortcode
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
{{</* highlight go "linenos=table,hl_lines=8 15-17,linenostart=199" */>}}
|
|
// ... code
|
|
{{</* / highlight */>}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Gives this:
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight go "linenos=table,hl_lines=8 15-17,linenostart=199" >}}
|
|
// GetTitleFunc returns a func that can be used to transform a string to
|
|
// title case.
|
|
//
|
|
// The supported styles are
|
|
//
|
|
// - "Go" (strings.Title)
|
|
// - "AP" (see https://www.apstylebook.com/)
|
|
// - "Chicago" (see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html)
|
|
//
|
|
// If an unknown or empty style is provided, AP style is what you get.
|
|
func GetTitleFunc(style string) func(s string) string {
|
|
switch strings.ToLower(style) {
|
|
case "go":
|
|
return strings.Title
|
|
case "chicago":
|
|
return transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.ChicagoStyle)
|
|
default:
|
|
return transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.APStyle)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
{{< / highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
## Highlight Hugo/Go template code
|
|
|
|
For highlighting Hugo/Go template code on your page, add `/*` after the opening double curly braces and `*/` before closing curly braces.
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
{{</*/* myshortcode */*/>}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Gives this:
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
{{</* myshortcode */>}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Highlight template function
|
|
|
|
See [Highlight](/functions/transform/highlight/).
|
|
|
|
## Highlighting in code fences
|
|
|
|
Highlighting in code fences is enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
````txt
|
|
```go {linenos=table,hl_lines=[8,"15-17"],linenostart=199}
|
|
// ... code
|
|
```
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
Gives this:
|
|
|
|
```go {linenos=table,hl_lines=[8,"15-17"],linenostart=199}
|
|
// GetTitleFunc returns a func that can be used to transform a string to
|
|
// title case.
|
|
//
|
|
// The supported styles are
|
|
//
|
|
// - "Go" (strings.Title)
|
|
// - "AP" (see https://www.apstylebook.com/)
|
|
// - "Chicago" (see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/home.html)
|
|
//
|
|
// If an unknown or empty style is provided, AP style is what you get.
|
|
func GetTitleFunc(style string) func(s string) string {
|
|
switch strings.ToLower(style) {
|
|
case "go":
|
|
return strings.Title
|
|
case "chicago":
|
|
return transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.ChicagoStyle)
|
|
default:
|
|
return transform.NewTitleConverter(transform.APStyle)
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The options are the same as in the [highlighting shortcode](/content-management/syntax-highlighting/#highlight-shortcode), including `linenos=false`, but note the slightly different Markdown attribute syntax.
