? ?‍? ?‍? Highlighting B4X code in HTML pages using Prism

[Erel]

Example: https://www.b4x.com/js/

Prism is a popular JavaScript text highlighter: https://prismjs.com/index.html

It is the same library that is installed in the forum and highlights the code.
The B4X rules and a modified CSS file are attached.

Note that it is not 100% perfect due to it being a context free parser, overall it does a good job and the code looks much better than plain text.

I "remember" (very vaguely) something similar, also an Erel's thread (and that I tried to use it in Notepad++), but i can't find it again now.

Haven't thought about it but it should work. Another option: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...e-parser-b4x-code-highlighter.109308/#content

True, but it required several additional steps to be actually used.
