## Version 8.0 beta
|
||
|
|
||
|
This new major release is quite a big overhaul bringing both new features and
|
||
|
some backwards incompatible changes. However, chances are that the majority of
|
||
|
users won't be affected by the latter: the basic scenario described in the
|
||
|
README is left intact.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here's what did change in an incompatible way:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- We're now prefixing all classes located in [CSS classes reference][cr] with
|
||
|
`hljs-`, by default, because some class names would collide with other
|
||
|
people's stylesheets. If you were using an older version, you might still want
|
||
|
the previous behavior, but still want to upgrade. To suppress this new
|
||
|
behavior, you would initialize like so:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```html
|
||
|
<script type="text/javascript">
|
||
|
hljs.configure({classPrefix: ''});
|
||
|
hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();
|
||
|
</script>
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `tabReplace` and `useBR` that were used in different places are also unified
|
||
|
into the global options object and are to be set using `configure(options)`.
|
||
|
This function is documented in our [API docs][]. Also note that these
|
||
|
parameters are gone from `highlightBlock` and `fixMarkup` which are now also
|
||
|
rely on `configure`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- We removed public-facing (though undocumented) object `hljs.LANGUAGES` which
|
||
|
was used to register languages with the library in favor of two new methods:
|
||
|
`registerLanguage` and `getLanguage`. Both are documented in our [API docs][].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Result returned from `highlight` and `highlightAuto` no longer contains two
|
||
|
separate attributes contributing to relevance score, `relevance` and
|
||
|
`keyword_count`. They are now unified in `relevance`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Another technically compatible change that nonetheless might need attention:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The structure of the NPM package was refactored, so if you had installed it
|
||
|
locally, you'll have to update your paths. The usual `require('highlight.js')`
|
||
|
works as before. This is contributed by [Dmitry Smolin][].
|
||
|
|
||
|
New features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Languages now can be recognized by multiple names like "js" for JavaScript or
|
||
|
"html" for, well, HTML (which earlier insisted on calling it "xml"). These
|
||
|
aliases can be specified in the class attribute of the code container in your
|
||
|
HTML as well as in various API calls. For now there are only a few very common
|
||
|
aliases but we'll expand it in the future. All of them are listed in the
|
||
|
[class reference][].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Language detection can now be restricted to a subset of languages relevant in
|
||
|
a given context — a web page or even a single highlighting call. This is
|
||
|
especially useful for node.js build that includes all the known languages.
|
||
|
Another example is a StackOverflow-style site where users specify languages
|
||
|
as tags rather than in the markdown-formatted code snippets. This is
|
||
|
documented in the [API reference][] (see methods `highlightAuto` and
|
||
|
`configure`).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Language definition syntax streamlined with [variants][] and
|
||
|
[beginKeywords][].
|
||
|
|
||
|
New languages and styles:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- *Oxygene* by [Carlo Kok][]
|
||
|
- *Mathematica* by [Daniel Kvasnička][]
|
||
|
- *Autohotkey* by [Seongwon Lee][]
|
||
|
- *Atelier* family of styles in 10 variants by [Bram de Haan][]
|
||
|
- *Paraíso* styles by [Jan T. Sott][]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Miscelleanous improvements:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Highlighting `=>` prompts in Clojure.
|
||
|
- [Jeremy Hull][] fixed a lot of styles for consistency.
|
||
|
- Finally, highlighting PHP and HTML [mixed in peculiar ways][php-html].
|
||
|
- Objective C and C# now properly highlight titles in method definition.
|
||
|
- Big overhaul of relevance counting for a number of languages. Please do report
|
||
|
bugs about mis-detection of non-trivial code snippets!

## Version 7.5
|
||
|
|
||
|
A catch-up release dealing with some of the accumulated contributions. This one
|
||
|
is probably will be the last before the 8.0 which will be slightly backwards
|
||
|
incompatible regarding some advanced use-cases.
|
||
|
|
||
|
One outstanding change in this version is the addition of 6 languages to the
|
||
|
[hosted script][d]: Markdown, ObjectiveC, CoffeeScript, Apache, Nginx and
|
||
|
Makefile. It now weighs about 6K more but we're going to keep it under 30K.
|
||
|
|
||
|
New languages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- OCaml by [Mehdi Dogguy][mehdid] and [Nicolas Braud-Santoni][nbraud]
|
||
|
- [LiveCode Server][lcs] by [Ralf Bitter][revig]
|
||
|
- Scilab by [Sylvestre Ledru][sylvestre]
|
||
|
- basic support for Makefile by [Ivan Sagalaev][isagalaev]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Improvements:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Ruby's got support for characters like `?A`, `?1`, `?\012` etc. and `%r{..}`
|
||
|
regexps.
|
||
|
- Clojure now allows a function call in the beginning of s-expressions
|
||
|
`(($filter "myCount") (arr 1 2 3 4 5))`.
|
||
|
- Haskell's got new keywords and now recognizes more things like pragmas,
|
||
|
preprocessors, modules, containers, FFIs etc. Thanks to [Zena Treep][treep]
|
||
|
for the implementation and to [Jeremy Hull][sourrust] for guiding it.
|
||
|
- Miscelleanous fixes in PHP, Brainfuck, SCSS, Asciidoc, CMake, Python and F#.

## New core developers
|
||
|
|
||
|
The latest long period of almost complete inactivity in the project coincided
|
||
|
with growing interest to it led to a decision that now seems completely obvious:
|
||
|
we need more core developers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
So without further ado let me welcome to the core team two long-time
|
||
|
contributors: [Jeremy Hull][] and [Oleg
|
||
|
Efimov][].
|
||
|
|
||
|
Hope now we'll be able to work through stuff faster!
|
||
|
|
||
|
P.S. The historical commit is [here][1] for the record.

|
||
|
outgrew a long time ago. Be sure to report any bugs about the site to
|
||

||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|

|
||
|
- Updated Rust keywords (thanks to [Dmitry Medvinsky][]).
|
||
|
- Literal regexes can now be used in language definitions.
|
||
|
- CoffeeScript highlighting is now significantly more robust and rich due to
|
||
|
input from [Cédric Néhémie][].

|

|
|
||
|
## Version 7.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Since this version highlight.js no longer works in IE version 8 and older.
|
||
|
It's made it possible to reduce the library size and dramatically improve code
|
||
|
readability and made it easier to maintain. Time to go forward!
|
||
|
|
||
|
- New languages: AppleScript (by [Nathan Grigg][ng] and [Dr. Drang][dd]) and
|
||
|
Brainfuck (by [Evgeny Stepanischev][bolk]).
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Improvements to existing languages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- interpreter prompt in Python (`>>>` and `...`)
|
||
|
- @-properties and classes in CoffeeScript
|
||
|
- E4X in JavaScript (by [Oleg Efimov][oe])
|
||
|
- new keywords in Perl (by [Kirk Kimmel][kk])
|
||
|
- big Ruby syntax update (by [Vasily Polovnyov][vast])
|
||
|
- small fixes in Bash
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Also Oleg Efimov did a great job of moving all the docs for language and style
|
||
|
developers and contributors from the old wiki under the source code in the
|
||
|
"docs" directory. Now these docs are nicely presented at
|
||
|
<http://highlightjs.readthedocs.org/>.

## Version 7.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
A regular bug-fix release without any significant new features. Enjoy!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 7.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
A Summer crop:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- [Marc Fornos][mf] made the definition for Clojure along with the matching
|
||
|
style Rainbow (which, of course, works for other languages too).
|
||
|
- CoffeeScript support continues to improve getting support for regular
|
||
|
expressions.
|
||
|
- Yoshihide Jimbo ported to highlight.js [five Tomorrow styles][tm] from the
|
||
|
[project by Chris Kempson][tm0].
|
||
|
- Thanks to [Casey Duncun][cd] the library can now be built in the popular
|
||
|
[AMD format][amd].
|
||
|
- And last but not least, we've got a fair number of correctness and consistency
|
||
|
fixes, including a pretty significant refactoring of Ruby.

|
|
||
|
## Version 7.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
The reason for the new major version update is a global change of keyword syntax
|
||
|
which resulted in the library getting smaller once again. For example, the
|
||
|
hosted build is 2K less than at the previous version while supporting two new
|
||
|
languages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Notable changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The library now works not only in a browser but also with [node.js][]. It is
|
||
|
installable with `npm install highlight.js`. [API][] docs are available on our
|
||
|
wiki.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- The new unique feature (apparently) among syntax highlighters is highlighting
|
||
|
*HTTP* headers and an arbitrary language in the request body. The most useful
|
||
|
languages here are *XML* and *JSON* both of which highlight.js does support.
|
||
|
Here's [the detailed post][p] about the feature.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Two new style themes: a dark "south" *[Pojoaque][]* by Jason Tate and an
|
||
|
emulation of*XCode* IDE by [Angel Olloqui][ao].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Three new languages: *D* by [Aleksandar Ružičić][ar], *R* by [Joe Cheng][jc]
|
||
|
and *GLSL* by [Sergey Tikhomirov][st].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- *Nginx* syntax has become a million times smaller and more universal thanks to
|
||
|
remaking it in a more generic manner that doesn't require listing all the
|
||
|
directives in the known universe.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Function titles are now highlighted in *PHP*.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- *Haskell* and *VHDL* were significantly reworked to be more rich and correct
|
||
|
by their respective maintainers [Jeremy Hull][sr] and [Igor Kalnitsky][ik].
|
||
|
|
||
|
And last but not least, many bugs have been fixed around correctness and
|
||
|
language detection.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Overall highlight.js currently supports 51 languages and 20 style themes.

## Version 6.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
A lot of things happened in highlight.js since the last version! We've got nine
|
||
|
new contributors, the discussion group came alive, and the main branch on GitHub
|
||
|
now counts more than 350 followers. Here are most significant results coming
|
||
|
from all this activity:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 5 (five!) new languages: Rust, ActionScript, CoffeeScript, MatLab and
|
||
|
experimental support for markdown. Thanks go to [Andrey Vlasovskikh][av],
|
||
|
[Alexander Myadzel][am], [Dmytrii Nagirniak][dn], [Oleg Efimov][oe], [Denis
|
||
|
Bardadym][db] and [John Crepezzi][jc].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 2 new style themes: Monokai by [Luigi Maselli][lm] and stylistic imitation of
|
||
|
another well-known highlighter Google Code Prettify by [Aahan Krish][ak].
|
||
|
|
||
|
- A vast number of [correctness fixes and code refactorings][log], mostly made
|
||
|
by [Oleg Efimov][oe] and [Evgeny Stepanischev][es].

## Version 6.1 — Solarized
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Jeremy Hull][jh] has implemented my dream feature — a port of [Solarized][]
|
||
|
style theme famous for being based on the intricate color theory to achieve
|
||
|
correct contrast and color perception. It is now available for highlight.js in
|
||
|
both variants — light and dark.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This version also adds a new original style Arta. Its author pumbur maintains a
|
||
|
[heavily modified fork of highlight.js][pb] on GitHub.

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 6.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
New major version of the highlighter has been built on a significantly
|
||
|
refactored syntax. Due to this it's even smaller than the previous one while
|
||
|
supporting more languages!
|
||
|
|
||
|
New languages are:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Haskell by [Jeremy Hull][sourrust]
|
||
|
- Erlang in two varieties — module and REPL — made collectively by [Nikolay
|
||
|
Zakharov][desh], [Dmitry Kovega][arhibot] and [Sergey Ignatov][ignatov]
|
||
|
- Objective C by [Valerii Hiora][vhbit]
|
||
|
- Vala by [Antono Vasiljev][antono]
|
||
|
- Go by [Stephan Kountso][steplg]

Also this version is marginally faster and fixes a number of small long-standing
|
||
|
bugs.

Developer overview of the new language syntax is available in a [blog post about
|
||
|
recent beta release][beta].

## Version 5.14
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed bugs in HTML/XML detection and relevance introduced in previous
|
||
|
refactoring.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also test.html now shows the second best result of language detection by
|
||
|
relevance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.13
|
||
|
|
||
|
Past weekend began with a couple of simple additions for existing languages but
|
||
|
ended up in a big code refactoring bringing along nice improvements for language
|
||
|
developers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### For users
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Description of C++ has got new keywords from the upcoming [C++ 0x][] standard.
|
||
|
- Description of HTML has got new tags from [HTML 5][].
|
||
|
- CSS-styles have been unified to use consistent padding and also have lost
|
||
|
pop-outs with names of detected languages.
|
||
|
- [Igor Kalnitsky][ik] has sent two new language descriptions: CMake и VHDL.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This makes total number of languages supported by highlight.js to reach 35.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Bug fixes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Custom classes on `<pre>` tags are not being overridden anymore
|
||
|
- More correct highlighting of code blocks inside non-`<pre>` containers:
|
||
|
highlighter now doesn't insist on replacing them with its own container and
|
||
|
just replaces the contents.
|
||
|
- Small fixes in browser compatibility and heuristics.

|
||
|
|
||
|
### For developers
|
||
|
|
||
|
The most significant change is the ability to include language submodes right
|
||
|
under `contains` instead of defining explicit named submodes in the main array:
|
||
|
|
||
|
contains: [
|
||
|
'string',
|
||
|
'number',
|
||
|
{begin: '\\n', end: hljs.IMMEDIATE_RE}
|
||
|
]
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is useful for auxiliary modes needed only in one place to define parsing.
|
||
|
Note that such modes often don't have `className` and hence won't generate a
|
||
|
separate `<span>` in the resulting markup. This is similar in effect to
|
||
|
`noMarkup: true`. All existing languages have been refactored accordingly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Test file test.html has at last become a real test. Now it not only puts the
|
||
|
detected language name under the code snippet but also tests if it matches the
|
||
|
expected one. Test summary is displayed right above all language snippets.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## CDN
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fine people at [Yandex][] agreed to host highlight.js on their big fast servers.

## Version 5.10 — "Paris".
|
||
|
|
||
|
Though I'm on a vacation in Paris, I decided to release a new version with a
|
||
|
couple of small fixes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Tomas Vitvar discovered that TAB replacement doesn't always work when used
|
||
|
with custom markup in code
|
||
|
- SQL parsing is even more rigid now and doesn't step over SmallTalk in tests
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.9
|
||
|
|
||
|
A long-awaited version is finally released.
|
||
|
|
||
|
New languages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Andrew Fedorov made a definition for Lua
|
||
|
- a long-time highlight.js contributor [Peter Leonov][pl] made a definition for
|
||
|
Nginx config
|
||
|
- [Vladimir Moskva][vm] made a definition for TeX
|
||
|
|
||
|
[pl]: http://kung-fu-tzu.ru/
|
||
|
[vm]: http://fulc.ru/
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixes for existing languages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- [Loren Segal][ls] reworked the Ruby definition and added highlighting for
|
||
|
[YARD][] inline documentation
|
||
|
- the definition of SQL has become more solid and now it shouldn't be overly
|
||
|
greedy when it comes to language detection
|
||
|
|
||
|
[ls]: http://gnuu.org/
|
||
|
[yard]: http://yardoc.org/
|
||
|
|
||
|
The highlighter has become more usable as a library allowing to do highlighting
|
||
|
from initialization code of JS frameworks and in ajax methods (see.
|
||
|
readme.eng.txt).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also this version drops support for the [WordPress][wp] plugin. Everyone is
|
||
|
welcome to [pick up its maintenance][p] if needed.

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.8
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Jan Berkel has contributed a definition for Scala. +1 to hotness!
|
||
|
- All CSS-styles are rewritten to work only inside `<pre>` tags to avoid
|
||
|
conflicts with host site styles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.7.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed escaping of quotes in VBScript strings.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.5
|
||
|
|
||
|
This version brings a small change: now .ini-files allow digits, underscores and
|
||
|
square brackets in key names.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.4
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed small but upsetting bug in the packer which caused incorrect highlighting
|
||
|
of explicitly specified languages. Thanks to Andrew Fedorov for precise
|
||
|
diagnostics!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
The version to fulfil old promises.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The most significant change is that highlight.js now preserves custom user
|
||
|
markup in code along with its own highlighting markup. This means that now it's
|
||
|
possible to use, say, links in code. Thanks to [Vladimir Dolzhenko][vd] for the
|
||
|
[initial proposal][1] and for making a proof-of-concept patch.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also in this version:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- [Vasily Polovnyov][vp] has sent a GitHub-like style and has implemented
|
||
|
support for CSS @-rules and Ruby symbols.
|
||
|
- Yura Zaripov has sent two styles: Brown Paper and School Book.
|
||
|
- Oleg Volchkov has sent a definition for [Parser 3][p3].

## Version 5.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
- at last it's possible to replace indentation TABs with something sensible (e.g. 2 or 4 spaces)
|
||
|
- new keywords and built-ins for 1C by Sergey Baranov
|
||
|
- a couple of small fixes to Apache highlighting
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 5.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is one of those nice version consisting entirely of new and shiny
|
||
|
contributions!
|
||
|
|
||
|
- [Vladimir Ermakov][vooon] created highlighting for AVR Assembler
|
||
|
- [Ruslan Keba][rukeba] created highlighting for Apache config file. Also his
|
||
|
original visual style for it is now available for all highlight.js languages
|
||
|
under the name "Magula".
|
||
|
- [Shuen-Huei Guan][drake] (aka Drake) sent new keywords for RenderMan
|
||
|
languages. Also thanks go to [Konstantin Evdokimenko][ke] for his advice on
|
||
|
the matter.

|
## Version 5.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
The main change in the new major version of highlight.js is a mechanism for
|
||
|
packing several languages along with the library itself into a single compressed
|
||
|
file. Now sites using several languages will load considerably faster because
|
||
|
the library won't dynamically include additional files while loading.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also this version fixes a long-standing bug with Javascript highlighting that
|
||
|
couldn't distinguish between regular expressions and division operations.
|
||
|
|
||
|
And as usually there were a couple of minor correctness fixes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Great thanks to all contributors! Keep using highlight.js.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 4.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
This version comes with two contributions from [Jason Diamond][jd]:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- language definition for C# (yes! it was a long-missed thing!)
|
||
|
- Visual Studio-like highlighting style
|
||
|
|
||
|
Plus there are a couple of minor bug fixes for parsing HTML and XML attributes.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 4.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
The biggest news is highlighting for Lisp, courtesy of Vasily Polovnyov. It's
|
||
|
somewhat experimental meaning that for highlighting "keywords" it doesn't use
|
||
|
any pre-defined set of a Lisp dialect. Instead it tries to highlight first word
|
||
|
in parentheses wherever it makes sense. I'd like to ask people programming in
|
||
|
Lisp to confirm if it's a good idea and send feedback to [the forum][f].
|
||
|
|
||
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Smalltalk was excluded from DEFAULT_LANGUAGES to save traffic
|
||
|
- [Vladimir Epifanov][voldmar] has implemented javascript style switcher for
|
||
|
test.html
|
||
|
- comments now allowed inside Ruby function definition
|
||
|
- [MEL][] language from [Shuen-Huei Guan][drake]
|
||
|
- whitespace now allowed between `<pre>` and `<code>`
|
||
|
- better auto-detection of C++ and PHP
|
||
|
- HTML allows embedded VBScript (`<% .. %>`)

|
## Version 4.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
Languages:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Bash from Vah
|
||
|
- DOS bat-files from Alexander Makarov (Sam)
|
||
|
- Diff files from Vasily Polovnyov
|
||
|
- Ini files from myself though initial idea was from Sam
|
||
|
|
||
|
Styles:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Zenburn from Vladimir Epifanov, this is an imitation of a
|
||
|
[well-known theme for Vim][zenburn].
|
||
|
- Ascetic from myself, as a realization of ideals of non-flashy highlighting:
|
||
|
just one color in only three gradations :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
In other news. [One small bug][bug] was fixed, built-in keywords were added for
|
||
|
Python and C++ which improved auto-detection for the latter (it was shame that
|
||
|
[my wife's blog][alenacpp] had issues with it from time to time). And lastly
|
||
|
thanks go to Sam for getting rid of my stylistic comments in code that were
|
||
|
getting in the way of [JSMin][].

## Version 4.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
New major version is a result of vast refactoring and of many contributions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Visible new features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Highlighting of embedded languages. Currently is implemented highlighting of
|
||
|
Javascript and CSS inside HTML.
|
||
|
- Bundled 5 ready-made style themes!
|
||
|
|
||
|
Invisible new features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Highlight.js no longer pollutes global namespace. Only one object and one
|
||
|
function for backward compatibility.
|
||
|
- Performance is further increased by about 15%.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Changing of a major version number caused by a new format of language definition
|
||
|
files. If you use some third-party language files they should be updated.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 3.5
|
||
|
|
||
|
A very nice version in my opinion fixing a number of small bugs and slightly
|
||
|
increased speed in a couple of corner cases. Thanks to everybody who reports
|
||
|
bugs in he [forum][f] and by email!
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is also a new language — XML. A custom XML formerly was detected as HTML
|
||
|
and didn't highlight custom tags. In this version I tried to make custom XML to
|
||
|
be detected and highlighted by its own rules. Which by the way include such
|
||
|
things as CDATA sections and processing instructions (`<? ... ?>`).
|
||
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 3.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Vladimir Gubarkov][xonix] has provided an interesting and useful addition.
|
||
|
File export.html contains a little program that shows and allows to copy and
|
||
|
paste an HTML code generated by the highlighter for any code snippet. This can
|
||
|
be useful in situations when one can't use the script itself on a site.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 3.2 consists completely of contributions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Vladimir Gubarkov has described SmallTalk
|
||
|
- Yuri Ivanov has described 1C
|
||
|
- Peter Leonov has packaged the highlighter as a Firefox extension
|
||
|
- Vladimir Ermakov has compiled a mod for phpBB
|
||
|
|
||
|
Many thanks to you all!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 3.1
|
||
|
|
||
|
Three new languages are available: Django templates, SQL and Axapta. The latter
|
||
|
two are sent by [Dmitri Roudakov][1]. However I've almost entirely rewrote an
|
||
|
SQL definition but I'd never started it be it from the ground up :-)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The engine itself has got a long awaited feature of grouping keywords
|
||
|
("keyword", "built-in function", "literal"). No more hacks!
|
||
|
|
||
|
[1]: http://roudakov.ru/
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 3.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is major mainly because now highlight.js has grown large and has become
|
||
|
modular. Now when you pass it a list of languages to highlight it will
|
||
|
dynamically load into a browser only those languages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Konstantin Evdokimenko of [RibKit][] project has created a highlighting for
|
||
|
RenderMan Shading Language and RenderMan Interface Bytestream. Yay for more
|
||
|
languages!
|
||
|
- Heuristics for C++ and HTML got better.
|
||
|
- I've implemented (at last) a correct handling of backslash escapes in C-like
|
||
|
languages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is also a small backwards incompatible change in the new version. The
|
||
|
function initHighlighting that was used to initialize highlighting instead of
|
||
|
initHighlightingOnLoad a long time ago no longer works. If you by chance still
|
||
|
use it — replace it with the new one.
|
||
|
|
||

||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.9
|
||
|
|
||
|
Highlight.js is a parser, not just a couple of regular expressions. That said
|
||
|
I'm glad to announce that in the new version 2.9 has support for:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- in-string substitutions for Ruby -- `#{...}`
|
||
|
- strings from from numeric symbol codes (like #XX) for Delphi
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.8
|
||
|
|
||
|
A maintenance release with more tuned heuristics. Fully backwards compatible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.7
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Nikita Ledyaev presents highlighting for VBScript, yay!
|
||
|
- A couple of bugs with escaping in strings were fixed thanks to Mickle
|
||
|
- Ongoing tuning of heuristics
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fixed bugs were rather unpleasant so I encourage everyone to upgrade!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.4
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Peter Leonov provides another improved highlighting for Perl
|
||
|
- Javascript gets a new kind of keywords — "literals". These are the words
|
||
|
"true", "false" and "null"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Also highlight.js homepage now lists sites that use the library. Feel free to
|
||
|
add your site by [dropping me a message][mail] until I find the time to build a
|
||
|
submit form.

|
## Version 2.3
|
||
|
|
||
|
This version fixes IE breakage in previous version. My apologies to all who have
|
||
|
already downloaded that one!
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.2
|
||
|
|
||
|
- added highlighting for Javascript
|
||
|
- at last fixed parsing of Delphi's escaped apostrophes in strings
|
||
|
- in Ruby fixed highlighting of keywords 'def' and 'class', same for 'sub' in
|
||
|
Perl
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version 2.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Ruby support by [Anton Kovalyov][ak]
|
||
|
- speed increased by orders of magnitude due to new way of parsing
|
||
|
- this same way allows now correct highlighting of keywords in some tricky
|
||
|
places (like keyword "End" at the end of Delphi classes)
|
||

||
|
## Version 1.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 1.0 of javascript syntax highlighter is released!
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's the first version available with English description. Feel free to post
|
||
|
your comments and question to [highlight.js forum][forum]. And don't be afraid
|
||
|
if you find there some fancy Cyrillic letters -- it's for Russian users too :-)
