Template documentation

[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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.

line

optional The line attribute enables line numbers.

start

optional The start attribute (in combination with line) defines the first line number of the code block.

highlight

optional The highlight attribute specifies one or more lines that should be marked (by highlighting those lines with a different background color).

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

inline

optional The attribute indicates that the source code should be inline as part of a paragraph (as opposed to being its own block).

class

optional The css class to use. When inline is used, class="nowrap" (on those wikis that support it; not on MediaWiki itself) specifies that line breaks should not occur at spaces within the code block.

style

optional CSS styles to add

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:

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')

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