## Syntax Highlighting ##

The custom Markdown parser can render custom prefixes for code blocks,
and render it via a [javascript syntax highlighter](http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter).

In:

	:::php
	my sourcecode
	
Out:

	<pre class="brush: php">
	my sourcecode
	</pre>
	
To include the syntax highlighter source, add the following to your `DocumentationViewer->init()`:

	Requirements::javascript(THIRDPARTY_DIR .'/jquery/jquery.js');
	Requirements::javascript('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shCore.js');
	Requirements::javascript('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushJScript.js');
	Requirements::javascript('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushPHP.js');
	Requirements::javascript('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushXML.js');
	// ... any additional syntaxes you want to support
	Requirements::combine_files(
		'syntaxhighlighter.js',
		array(
			'sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shCore.js',
			'sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushJScript.js',
			'sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushPHP.js',
			'sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/scripts/shBrushXML.js'
		)
	);
	
	Requirements::javascript('sapphiredocs/javascript/DocumentationViewer.js');

	// css
	Requirements::css('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/styles/shCore.css');
	Requirements::css('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/styles/shCoreDefault.css');
	Requirements::css('sapphiredocs/thirdparty/syntaxhighlighter/styles/shThemeRDark.css');
	
You can overload the `DocumentationViewer` class and add a custom route through `Director::addRule()`
if you prefer not to modify the module file.
