Syntax Highlighter For Blogger

I have been using Alex Gorbatchev Syntax Highlighter for a long while now . someone requested me to write an article about using this syntax highlighter in blogger so here i go .

Select a theme for the syntax highlighter , those links have previews of the theme.

• Default - shThemeDefault.css
• Django - shThemeDjango.css
• Eclipse - shThemeEclipse.css
• Emacs - shThemeEmacs.css
• Fade To Gray - shThemeFadeToGray.css
• Midnight - shThemeMidnight.css
• RDark - shThemeRDark.css

Now add these codes under your head in your html .

After adding those codes now it's time to set your theme to the syntax highlighter , in the third line of code that i gave before . this parameter is what i meant

now after styles/ add the theme style , you can see the theme style right after the theme preview link . for example i have selected shThemeRDark.css then my parameter would look like this

Now you have successfully added the syntax highlighter now save your template and now we will test the syntax highlighter . you cannot just add the code and let it define the language , you should define the language in the tag . you can see what language we can highlight from here  . coming to the point i will show you how to syntax highlight a java hello world program .

go to the HTML tab in your post and find where you want the syntax highlighter to be and here we go

replace ____ with your language name and replace codes with your codes and that's how it works . here is a sample of the syntax highlighter.

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }

}

Thanks For Reading , Have A Great day .
