SyntaxHighlighter HTML/XHTML compliance proposal test

Márcio d'Ávila, 2007-20-21.

This test page for Syntax Highlighter, free (LGPL) JavaScript tool by Alex Gorbatchev at Google Code, uses a modified version of shCore.js based on my following proposal:

Insted of using a custom name given at HighlighAll() function, usually "code", and an additional class atrribute for language and options, this proposal uses only a class with the following form: syntax-highlight:language:options. The :options part remains optional.

This proposal also works fine if there were other classes specified in the class atribute.

First Code

Using: <pre class="syntax-highlight:java:nogutter">

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class AloMundoServ extends HttpServlet
{
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws IOException, ServletException
    {
        String alo = "Alô Mundo!";
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<body><h1>" + alo + "</h1></body>");
        out.println("</html>");
    } // doGet
} // class AloMundoServ

Second Code

Using: <pre class="other1 syntax-highlight:java other2">

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

public class AloMundoServ extends HttpServlet
{
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
        throws IOException, ServletException
    {
        String alo = "Alô Mundo!";
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

        out.println("<html>");
        out.println("<body><h1>" + alo + "</h1></body>");
        out.println("</html>");
    } // doGet
} // class AloMundoServ

Third Code

Using: <textarea class="syntax-highlight:java" cols="80" rows="17">
The textarea is inside a fieldset.
