GeSHi or Generic Syntax Highlighter is a free software library that allows syntax highligting of source code for several markup- and programming languages. The program is written in PHP and is bundled or available as an add-on in popular web-based applications, such as Dokuwiki, Mambo, MediaWiki, phpBB and WikkaWiki. Among its notable features:

  • Fully CSS-driven output
  • Support for 90+ markup- and programming languages
  • Extensibility via custom language files
  • XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS2 compliance
  • Auto-caps/noncaps of keywords
  • Line numbering
  • Automatic generation of links to programming language documentation

[edit] History

GeSHi was originally designed as a module to introduce syntax highlighting in the phpBB board system. Later, it was made to work without a phpBB as a stand-alone library.

After a long time of inactivity the project was handed over to Benny Baumann on March 15, 2008.
