This loader can apply syntax-highlighting via highlight.js in two ways:

1. Given HTML (either straight HTML or the output of something like markdown-loader), it will replace the contents of <code> blocks with syntax-highlighted HTML generated by highlight.js. This is the default behavior.

2. Given a raw file, it will return syntax-highlighted HTML generated by highlight.js. This can be enabled by using the raw parameter.

You probably want to pass the HTML output of this loader through html-loader.

If any value is provided, the loader will interpret its input as a raw string to run through highlight.js.

By default, the language is auto-detected. To specify a language, use the lang parameter.

Specify a language for highlight.js. Only works in combination with the raw parameter.

(To specify a language for non-raw input, apply lang-[something] classes to your <code> blocks.)

// Reading HTML from parsed markdown ...
var highlightedMarkdown = require('html!highlight!markdown!./README.md');

// Reading a file's raw contents and auto-detecting the language ...
var highlightedRaw = require('html!highlight?raw=true!./example-script.js');

// Reading a file's raw contents and specifying the language ...
var highlightedRawCss = require('html!highlight?raw=true&lang=css!./example-stylesheet.css');

• David Clark - Added raw and lang parameters
• Zane Miller - Added missing hljs class to pre element
