bower install angular-highlightjsThis is a required directive. Without any other supportive directives, it provides basic inline highlight function. For better understanding, some notes about using it are specified in the live example page.
<!-- hljs start -->
<div hljs>
<!-- put your codes here -->
</div>
<!-- hljs end -->Type: expression
Default: undefined
If source is presented, the hljs directive will evaluate the expression and highlight the result string. This is pretty useful for dynamically changed content.
Dynamically changed content.
<!-- buttons for put/clear $scope.subSource content -->
<button class="btn btn-primary show-source"
ng-click="toggleSource('subSource')" ng-show="!subSource">put $scope.subSource</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary show-source"
ng-click="toggleSource('subSource')" ng-show="subSource">clear $scope.subSource</button>
<div ng-show="subSource">
<br>
<!-- hljs connected with $scope.subSource -->
<div hljs source="subSource"></div>
</div>The expression. Beware of single-quotes.
<!-- hljs connected with independent string -->
<div hljs source="'<html><head><body></body></head></html>'"></div>Type: expression
Default: undefined
Works as the built-in ng-include directive, utilizes $templateCache and $http to retrieve content from text/ng-template scripts or from XHR.
From text/ng-template script localOne. Beware of single-quotes in the expression.
<!-- load text/ng-template named 'localOne' -->
<div hljs include="'localOne'"></div>From partials/lang-perl XHR. Again, beware of single-quotes.
<!-- load "partials/lang-perl" -->
<div hljs include="'partials/lang-perl'"></div>Type: string
Default: undefined
Tells the highlight.js which language syntax should be used to highlight the codes. If not specified, highlight.js will highlight with built-in language detection.
<!-- PHP codes highlight with language detection -->
<div hljs include="'partials/lang-php'"></div>
<!-- PHP codes highlight with specified language: perl -->
<div hljs include="'partials/lang-php'" language="perl"></div>
