Easily use Prism.js on any web page.
All of the changes from version to version can be found here.
You must include prismize.js in your page and then a <pre> tag that contains an attribute named "data-prismize" and a value matching the language that you want to use for the syntax highlighting (eg. apex, css, javascript, etc.). Here is a simple example:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/prismize/prismize.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<pre data-prismize="apex">
System.debug(JSON.serializePretty(new Map<String,Object> {
'first' => 'John',
'age' => 23
}));
</pre>
</body>
</html>Default options can be set by including them as URL parameters in the <script> tag:
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/prismize/prismize.min.js?copyable"></script>
</head>
<body>
<pre data-prismize="javascript">
const adjective = "crazy";
console.log(`Hello ${adjective} world!`);
</pre>
</body>
</html>Options for specific prismized content can be set by including the correct data-* attributes in the <pre> tag. The following are all of the supported data-* attributes that you can use:
| Attribute | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
data-action-* |
String | Specify an attribute starting with data-action- to add an additional button to the toolbar. These buttons will be ordered by the name of the attributes, not the labels. All custom action buttons will appear before the Copy and Download buttons. |
data-copyable |
Boolean | String | If this is a boolean value it indicates whether or not to show a copy to clipboard button in a info bar in the top-right corner of the code block. If this is a string the code block will appear with a copy to clipboard button in the info bar in the top-right with this string as the button's label. |
data-downloadable |
Boolean | String | If this is a boolean value it indicates whether or not to show a download button in a info bar in the top-right corner of the code block. If this is a string the code block will appear with a download button in the info bar in the top-right with this string as the button's label. |
data-downloadable |
String | The file name for the file that will be downloaded. |
data-info-text |
String | Used to show specific text after the language tag but before the buttons in the info bar. |
data-info-html |
String | Used to evaluate HTML that will appear after the language tag but before the buttons in the info bar. |
data-language |
String | Alternative to data-language. Used to indicate the language to be used to highlight the syntax. |
data-match-braces |
Boolean | Indicates whether to use the match-braces plugin. |
data-max-height |
Integer | Indicates the maximum height of the containing element (IFRAME) of the syntax highlighted code. |
data-number-lines |
Boolean | Integer | If this is a boolean value it indicates whether or not to number the lines. If this is an integer the code block will appear with numbered lines starting with the specified number. |
data-placement |
String | Indicates where to place the prismized syntax highlighted block. Defaults to "replace". Valid values are as follows:

data-preview-colors |
Boolean | Indicates whether to use the inline-color plugin. |
data-prismize |

data-remove-margins |
Boolean | Indicates whether or not to remove the margins that are ordinarily found before and/or after the main <pre> tag within the prismized content. |
data-resize-rate |
Integer | Indicates how often (in milliseconds) to try to resize the containing element (IFRAME) based on the rendered syntax highlighted code's height. |
data-show-language |
Boolean | String | If this is a boolean it indicates whether to use the show-language plugin. If this is a string the show-language plugin will be used and the specified string will display as the language for this code block. |
data-tab-size |
Integer | Indicates how many spaces a tab character should resolve to. |
data-template-path |
String | Indicates where to pull all of the Prism.js files from. This supports a form of template variables which must be surrounded with 2 sets of square brackets (eg. [[version]]). This defaults to "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/prismjs@[[version]]/[[path]]". The following are valid template variables:
|
data-theme |
String | Indicates the Prism.js theme that should be used for the syntax highlighted code. You can either supply a path to a CSS theme (you can find more themes here) or you can use one of the following valid theme names:

Three functions are added to the global scope:
prismize()- Can be used on a single block of code or a string which contains code.prismize.listenToActions()- Called to listen to actions for all prismized code.prismizeAll()- Called to executeprismize()on all elements on the page that either have adata-prismizeattribute or aprismizeclass name.
These functions are documented with JSDoc syntax which will help you understand how to use them.
