Syntax Highlighting Post

Syntax highlighting is a feature that displays source code, in different colors and fonts according to the category of terms. This feature facilitates writing in a structured language such as a programming language or a markup language as both structures and syntax errors are visually distinct. Highlighting does not affect the meaning of the text itself; it is intended only for human readers.¹

Highlighted Code Blocks

To modify styling and highlight colors edit /static/css/_sass/_syntax.scss.

#container { float: left; margin: 0 -240px 0 0; width: 100%; } module Jekyll class TagIndex < Page def initialize(site, base, dir, tag) @site = site @base = base @dir = dir @name = 'index.html' self.process(@name) self.read_yaml(File.join(base, '_layouts'), 'tag_index.html') self.data['tag'] = tag tag_title_prefix = site.config['tag_title_prefix'] || 'Tagged: ' tag_title_suffix = site.config['tag_title_suffix'] || '–' self.data['title'] = "#{tag_title_prefix}#{tag}" self.data['description'] = "An archive of posts tagged #{tag}." end end end

Standard Code Block

<nav class="pagination" role="navigation">
    {% if page.previous %}
        <a href="{{ site.url }}{{ page.previous.url }}" class="btn" title="{{ page.previous.title }}">Previous article</a>
    {% endif %}
    {% if page.next %}
        <a href="{{ site.url }}{{ page.next.url }}" class="btn" title="{{ page.next.title }}">Next article</a>
    {% endif %}
</nav><!-- /.pagination -->

Fenced Code Blocks

To modify styling and highlight colors edit /static/css/_sass/_coderay.scss.

#container { float: left; margin: 0 -240px 0 0; width: 100%; } module Jekyll class TagIndex < Page def initialize(site, base, dir, tag) @site = site @base = base @dir = dir @name = 'index.html' self.process(@name) self.read_yaml(File.join(base, '_layouts'), 'tag_index.html') self.data['tag'] = tag tag_title_prefix = site.config['tag_title_prefix'] || 'Tagged: ' tag_title_suffix = site.config['tag_title_suffix'] || '–' self.data['title'] = "#{tag_title_prefix}#{tag}" self.data['description'] = "An archive of posts tagged #{tag}." end end end
