Highlight code blocks

Installation

 npm install marked-highlight

Usage

You will need to provide a function that transforms the code to html.

 import { Marked } from "marked";
import { markedHighlight } from "marked-highlight";
import hljs from 'highlight.js';

// or UMD script
// <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/lib/marked.umd.js"></script>
// <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked-highlight/lib/index.umd.js"></script>
// const {markedHighlight} = globalThis.markedHighlight;
const marked = new Marked(
  markedHighlight({
    langPrefix: 'hljs language-',
    highlight(code, lang, info) {
      const language = hljs.getLanguage(lang) ? lang : 'plaintext';
      return hljs.highlight(code, { language }).value;
    }
  })
);


marked.parse(`
\`\`\`javascript
const highlight = "code";
\`\`\`
`);
// <pre><code class="hljs language-javascript">
//   <span class="hljs-keyword">const</span> highlight = <span class="hljs-string">&quot;code&quot;</span>;
// </code></pre>

The async option should be set to true if the highlight function returns a Promise.

 import { Marked } from "marked";
import { markedHighlight } from "marked-highlight";
import pygmentize from 'pygmentize-bundled';

const marked = new Marked(
  markedHighlight({
    async: true,
    highlight(code, lang, info) {
      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        pygmentize({ lang, format: 'html' }, code, function (err, result) {
          if (err) {
            resolve(err);
            return;
          }

          resolve(result.toString());
        });
      });
    }
  })
)

marked.parse(`
\`\`\`javascript
const highlight = "code";
\`\`\`
`);
// <pre><code class="language-javascript">
//   <div class="highlight">
//     <pre>
//       <span class="kr">const</span> <span class="nx">highlight</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;code&quot;</span><span class="p">;</span>
//     </pre>
//   </div>
// </code></pre>
