Wiki Syntax Highlight

We have a MediaWiki extension SyntaxHighlight GeSHi installed which will highlight code to make it easier to read.

Usuage

Here is an example highlighting PHP code:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php" >
<?php
    $string = "hello";    // comment
?>
html text
<?
    echo $string;         // end of php code
?>
</syntaxhighlight>

This will be displayed like:

<?php
    $string = "hello";    // comment
?>
html text
<?
    echo $string;         // end of php code
?>

Line numbering and highlighting

You could also have it number your lines and highlight a specific line.

Example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="php" line start="1" highlight="4">
<?php
    $x=5;
    $y=6;
    $z=$x+$y;
    echo $z;
?>
</syntaxhighlight>

Will display as:

<?php
    $x=5;
    $y=6;
    $z=$x+$y;
    echo $z;
?>
