Enlight

Enlight is a library that provides syntax highlighting and source code detection for various languages.

Get started

The facade class fi.evident.enlight.Enlight is an entry-point to all functionality. It has just two interesting static methods:

• Language recognizeLanguage(String source)

  Tries to recognize the language based on various heuristics. Returns null if the language could not be recognized.

• HighlightedSource highlight(String source, Language language)

  Returns a highlighted representation of given source string. The highlighted representation is not dependent on any particular way of presenting it (such as HTML), but is in a form that it should be easy to create formatters from it. See classes in fi.evident.enlight.highlighter for more details.
