Description

This is a combination of the parser function <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight> and the template {{pre2}}. It allows for code coloring depending on programming language conventions (like <syntaxhighlight>...</syntaxhighlight>) and inherits {{pre2}}'s ability for creating a horizontal slider if necessary (and requested). Also: It adds buttons to copy code into the clipboard.

Parameters

1

lang

The language used for color coding. Consult extension syntaxhighlight's documentation for a list of supported programming languages

2

code

The actual code displayed in the box. Warning: If your code contains an equal sign (=), you have to specify the parameter name as either sample text or sample text, otherwise the display of text will be botched up.

3

scroll

optional If you don't want a horizontal slider for long text, set this to sample text

id

optional If you want rhe div containing your code having an id-attribute, pass it along with this parameter

line

optional If you want line numbering, set this to anything other than off

start

optional If you want your line numbering to start at anything else than 1, put this value here (works only in conjunction with line)

highlight

optional If you want line highlighted, list them here.

you can list values seperated by a comma or give a range or both: 1,4,9,11-13

Usage

{{code|bash|code=#!/bin/bash
mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf}}

renders as

#!/bin/bash
mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf

If you omit the paramater name (code=), thus writing

{{code|bash|#!/bin/bash
mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf}}

your output will look like this:

sample text

a more complex example with parameters lang=lua|line=1|start=1|highlight=7,9:

local templateClass = require('Module:Template/class')
local classDebug = require('Module:Debug/class')

-- ****************************************************************
-- *                         inheritance                          *
-- ****************************************************************
local className = templateClass:subclass('Name')
-- setting class's configuration data
className.myConfiguration[tostring(className)] = mw.loadData('Module:Name/config')

-- ****************************************************************
-- *                          properties                          *

local _private = setmetatable({}, {__mode = 'k'})   -- weak table storing all private attributes
