markdown-it-prism

markdown-it plugin to highlight code blocks using Prism

Usage

const md = require('markdown-it')();
const prism = require('markdown-it-prism');

md.use(prism, options);

The plugin will insert the necessary markup into all code blocks. Include one of Prism’s stylesheets in your HTML to get highlighted code.

Options

The options object may contain:

Name	Description	Default
plugins	Array of Prism Plugins to load. The names to use can be found here. Please note that some prism plugins (notably line-numbers) rely on the DOM being present and can thus not be used with this package (see #1).	[]
init	A function called after setting up prism. Will receive the prism instance as only argument. Useful for plugins needing further intialisation.	() => {}
defaultLanguageForUnknown	The language to use for code blocks that specify a language that Prism does not know. No default will be used if this option is undefined.	undefined
defaultLanguageForUnspecified	The language to use for code block that do not specify a language. No default will be used if this option is undefined.	undefined
defaultLanguage	Shorthand to set both defaultLanguageForUnknown and defaultLanguageForUnspecified to the same value.	undefined
