markdown-it-prism  

> markdown-it plugin to highlight code blocks using Prism

Usage

``js
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.

The options object may contain:

| Name | Description | Default |
|---------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| highlightInlineCode | Whether to highlight inline code. | false |
| 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 |

When highlightInlineCode is set, inline code will be highlighted just like fenced code blocks are.
To specifiy the language of inline code, add {language=} after the code segment:

`markdown
class Demo { };{language=cpp}
`

This syntax is compatible with markdown-it-attrs:
The language= part will be stripped, but everything else between { and } will work
with markdown-it-attrs as usual.

Usage with Webpack

If you want to use this plugin together with Webpack, you need to import all languages you intend to use:

`javascript
import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it';
import prism from 'markdown-it-prism';

import "prismjs/components/prism-clike"
import "prismjs/components/prism-java"

function component() {
const md = new MarkdownIt();
md.use(prism);
const element = document.createElement('div');
element.innerHTML = md.render(
Here is some code:
\\\java
public class Test {
public void foo() {}
}
\\\
);

return element;
}

document.body.appendChild(component());
``

Beware: Prisms languages have dependencies onto each other. You need to import the languages together with their dependencies in the
correct order.
