I'm looking for a way to automatically format and color code I write in an HTML document. I know wikipedia does it, for example on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_function
I'm sure there are libraries out there to do this, but I can't for the life of me, find one. Does anyone have any suggestions?

To improve the formatting of your HTML source code, you can use the Format Document command Ctrl+Shift+I to format the entire file or Format Selection Ctrl+K Ctrl+F to just format the selected text.
The editor provides the document formatting feature for PHP documents. Right click the editor area and choose Format Document . In order to format the document, it must be syntax-error free. The code formatting normalizes whitespaces, line endings, opening and closing braces, indentation and pretty print spaces.
To link a CSS file with your HTML file, you have to write the next script on your HTML file inside the head tag. To link a Js file with your HTML, you only have to add the source of the script inside the body tag or outside; it doesn't matter.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, CSS for Cascading Style Sheets, and PHP for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. (Yes, the acronym is recursive.
Have a look at the Prettify JavaScript library. It's the one generally used by people (it's the one being used here on SO, for example.)
You would use it like this:
In your <head> element:
<link href="prettify.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="prettify.js"></script> In your <body> element:
<body onload="prettyPrint()"> <!-- any HTML you like here... --> <pre class="prettyprint"> def say_hi(): print("Hello World!") </pre> <!-- any HTML you like here... --> </body> That's for simple use of the library. If you're using other JavaScript on your page I would recommend other methods for enabling the Prettify library (i.e., don't use the onload attribute of the <body> element.) For example, if you're using jQuery, I wrote this jQuery plugin that I usually use to syntax highlight certain elements:
// Extend jQuery functionality to support prettify as a prettify() method. jQuery.fn.prettify = function () { this.html(prettyPrintOne(this.html())); }; Used like this:
$('#my-code-element').prettify(); If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
