way to support pseudo code in highlight.js ?

[jeremie-diarra]

This "Algorithme en Pseudocode" is exactly the (french) pseudo code language I was looking for, so, first of all, thank you so much for this 🙏

I'm also a big fan of highlight.js, and I'm looking for a way to highlight french pseudo code on a web page. And I'm wondering if you guys got some clues on this ?

Thanks again for the great great extension, so helpful to bring life to code with the students !

sorry i dont know how to transfer the code to a highlight.js function but i asked ChatGPT !

1. Create a new .js file for your language in the highlight.js/src/languages directory.
2. In this file, define a hljs.registerLanguage() function that takes an object defining your language's syntax rules.
3. Copy the contents of your .json file into this object, but convert the syntax rules to the Highlight.js format.

Here is an example of what your hljs.registerLanguage() function might look like:

hljs.registerLanguage('my-language', function(hljs) {
  var keywords = 'if else while for ...';  // list of keywords in your language
  var builtins = 'print input ...';  // list of built-in functions in your language
  
  return {
    name: 'My Language',  // name of your language
    case_insensitive: true,  // whether your language is case-insensitive
    keywords: {
      keyword: keywords,
      built_in: builtins
    },
    contains: [
      {
        className: 'string',
        begin: "'", end: "'",
        contains: [hljs.BACKSLASH_ESCAPE]
      },
      {
        className: 'string',
        begin: '"', end: '"',
        contains: [hljs.BACKSLASH_ESCAPE]
      },
      {
        className: 'number',
        begin: '\\b\\d+(\\.\\d+)?',
        relevance: 0
      },
      // more syntax rules here
    ]
  };
});
