PHP/HTML/CSS and JAVASCRIPT script block

Question

My question may be silly, but I really don’t know and I can’t find it on the net.

I would like to add in my application chunks of snippets with script, and in this block the script highlights the functions, variables and etc, as in a same editor.

Do you know any jquery code, javascript that does this? Or the name of this feature.

I know there’s a tag <code>, but it doesn’t change color as I suggested. :(

Answer 1

You need a syntax highlighter. There are some libraries out there that perform this task:

http://prismjs.com/

Answer 2

It does exist. It’s the Syntax Highlighting plugin

Found in https://highlightjs.org/

I hope I’ve helped!
