BENON_

Justoverclock The question is I want to find an extension code editor so that I write php, js or other programming code so that the syntax can be sorted like sublime text, what extension do you use? 🙏

BENON_

Justoverclock
to be able to write like this using what extentions? 🙏

Justoverclock

BENON_ you can highlight your code simply using Flarum itsef

just wrap your code into 3 backticks ```

result:

function generateRandomIntegerInRange(min, max) {
    return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

Lalu

Justoverclock 3 backticks didn't work for 2 paragraph or more.

I can't find where this was discussed previously but I believe you need to have the bbcode extension enabled in order for code blocks to have syntax highlighting.

If you only have the Markdown extension enabled, Markdown code blocks won't be highlighted. But if bbcode is enabled, both bbcode and Markdown blocks will be highlighted.

That's because both re-use the same rendering template and only bbcode contains the highlight javascript code.

By default highlight.js uses automatic language detection but you can specify a language in both markdown and bbcode code blocks.

ok thank you all for helping 🙏😊

As this discussion shows first when I search for "highlight" and for other people like the OP (or me) that only have the Markdown extension enabled but still want the code highlighting to work, I made an extension that allows just that (among other things): CLUB1 Server Side Highlight.

It provides the following advantages:

The highlighting is done on the server so it is not up to the clients to do it.
The server uses the cache to save highlighted blocks to only do the processing once.
It works without any JS so even on the worst web browser the highlight will be there and there is no delay before the highlighting is applied.
The theme adapts itself to the "dark mode" setting of Flarum.
It works even with BBCode extension disabled.
Admins can choose the highlight theme for both "Light" and "Dark" Flarum variants.
Admins can download highlight themes with highlight:download Flarum console command.
It is compatible with fof/nightmode by switching the highlight theme accordingly.

BTW I think this discussion can be marked asSolved

Lalu if you are having an issue, could you provide more details?

This original support thread is solved, there is nothing more to add. You are also likely running a more recent release of Flarum so the information above might no longer be up to date.
