Readme Syntax Github



Update 2016: This tutorial is out-of-date. See the repository for alexpeattie.com and the associated README to see how I do it now.

Readme Syntax Github Example

A few people have asked me how I do the Github-style syntax highlighting on this site. Here’s an example Ruby script with highlighting:

GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax, GFM, that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com. ReadMe's React-based syntax highlighter. Contribute to readmeio/syntax-highlighter development by creating an account on GitHub.

This how-to explains my setup on Middleman (which this site is built on), but it should be applicable to any site using Pygments for syntax highlighting.

To enable basic syntax highlighting, we need to add the middleman-syntax gem to our Gemfile:

and activate it in our config.rb:

We’ll also turn on the lineanchors option, which we’ll need for line numbering (see below).

Fenced code blocks

The first feature we’ll add is fenced code blocks, a feature of Github Flavored Markdown. This allows us to conveniently specify the language (and thus, the Pygments lexer) of our code:

We’ll need to change our Markdown pre-processor to Redcarpet which supports fenced code blocks. We need to add:

to our Gemfile and put the following into our config.rb:

Github highlighting color scheme

Next we’ll add some CSS to match Github’s color scheme: https://github.com/richleland/pygments-css/blob/146708f9003299106baf05987abf393eae4424fc/github.css

We have to make one small change, .hll needs to be replaced with .highlight

Line numbers

The last thing we’re missing are line-numbers. We’ll implement this in pure CSS, using CSS counters:

Notice the user-select: none; - this ensures that when the code is selected, the line numbers won’t be selected too, which makes copying and pasting a lot more convenient.

CSS counters will work fine for ~95% of users - and older browsers will degrade gracefully (they just won’t show any line numbers).

Beautiful Android Syntax View with line counter it will automatically highlight the code,you can design your own IDE using this view

Colors can be modified as you want

add this to your dependencies in build.gradle file

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

1st way:

  • Step 1: add this to your activity_main.xml or any other activity you want:
  • Step 2: add this to your java code
Syntax

2nd way:

User can check if there is an error with the paranthesis in his code , the check will be perfomed for once only when called

Next update:

Github Readme Syntax Code

  • User will have the ability to choose a language like ' C,Java,Python' So we can do a faster UI and Highlighting(feel free to implement this update if you are able to do so)
  • You can contribute to this project for missing programming key words so we can include them in the next update.
