Apex code requirements

This library will highlight Apex as used in Apex classes and triggers.

SOQL requirements

To highlight a SOQL query, it MUST be enclosed in square brackets ([ and ]). While creating a SOQL parser as a standalone sub-language (like javascript in html/Visualforce) would be ideal, this would require users to install both packages in a project and would get too messy. Each language can contain the other, so dependencies in the parsing become unwieldy.

Usage

Simply include the Highlight.js library in your webpage or Node app, then load this module. For more complex usage, see highlight.js usage.

$3

Simply load this module after loading Highlight.js. You'll use the minified version found in the dist directory. This module is just a CDN build of the language, so it will register itself as the Javascript is loaded.

For more details see Highlight.js main page.

``html




rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/highlightjs-apex/src/styles/monokai-sublime-apex.css" />


`

This will find and highlight code inside of

 tags; it tries to detect the language automatically. If automatic detection doesn’t work for you, you can specify the language in the class attribute:
`html

    
    ...
    

`
#### Ignoring a Code Block
To skip highlighting of a code block completely, use the nohighlight class:
`html
...

`html

	type="text/javascript"
	src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/highlightjs-apex/dist/apex.min.js">

If you're using Node / Webpack / Rollup / Browserify, etc, simply require the language module, then register it with Highlight.js.
`javascript
var hljs = require('highlightjs');
var hljsApex = require('highlightjs-apex');
hljs.registerLanguage('apex', hljsApex);
hljs.highlightAll();
``

There are many styles to choose from at https://highlightjs.org/demo. They can be downloaded from the GitHub repository and referenced from unpkg.com (see sample html above).
A great stylesheet for Apex is in this repo in the styles folder.
