kramdown syntax highlighter based on Coderay

This is a syntax highlighter for kramdown
that uses coderay to highlight code blocks and
spans when converting to HTML.

Note: Until kramdown version 2.0.0 this math engine was part of the kramdown
distribution.

Installation

gem install kramdown-syntax-coderay

Usage

require 'kramdown'
require 'kramdown-syntax-coderay'

Kramdown::Document.new(text, syntax_highlighter: :coderay).to_html

Documentation

To use Coderay, set the option syntax_highlighter to ‘coderay’ and make sure that Coderay is
available. The Coderay library can be installed, e.g., via Rubygems by running gem install coderay.

Note that the ‘coderay_*’ options are deprecated and should not be used anymore!

The Coderay syntax highlighter supports the following keys of the option syntax_highlighter_opts:

• span:

  A key-value map of options that are only used when syntax highlighting code spans.

• block:

  A key-value map of options that are only used when syntax highlighting code blocks.

• default_lang:

  The default language that should be used when no language is set for a code block.

Furthermore all Coderay options (e.g. css, line_numbers, line_numbers_start, bold_every,
tab_width, wrap) can be set directly on the syntax_highlighter_opts option (where they apply
to code spans and code blocks) and/or on the span/block keys.

Here is an example that shows how Ruby code is highlighted:

require 'kramdown'

Kramdown::Document.new('* something').to_html
puts 1 + 1
