Template:Syntaxhighlight

{{{1}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Simple wrapper around the syntaxhighlight tag to show syntax-highlighted text. Unlike syntaxhighlight, text that does not fit on the screen will be wrapped.

Usage

{{Syntaxhighlight|code|lang}}

• code will become the contents of the syntax highlighted block.
• Use |lang=wikitext for Mediawiki or wikitext markup. Other supported languages are listed below.
• The <syntaxhighlight> tag used by this template is WP:EXPENSIVE, so, if used on a page with 500 or more 'expensive' parser functions, subsequent instances of this template after the 500th expensive function use on that page will always be rendered as unhighlighted <code>...</code> blocks (without syntax highlighting) instead of syntax-highlighted <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight> blocks.
