Chili – The jQuery Plugin for Highlighting Code

I’ve setup a GitHub account for Chili, so that anyone interested in forging the NEXT version can easily join and contribute.

I’m still new to git, but I hope I have prepared a usable setup for development.

What follows is version 2.2 content. It’s a bit outdated, but still useful. (to be updated)

Features

  • Very fast highlighting, trivial setup, fully customizable, thoroughly documented, and MIT licensed
  • Renders identically on IE, Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari
  • Comes bundled with recipes for C++, C#, CSS, Delphi, Java, JavaScript, LotusScript, MySQL, PHP, and XHTML
  • Many configuration options: Static, Dynamic, Automatic, Manual, Ad-Hoc, with Metaobjects.
  • Provides fine control over which elements get highlighted by means of a jQuery selector or the mithical jQuery chainability.
  • Fully supports javascript regular expressions, including backreferences
  • The replacement format gives full control on what HTML is used for highlighting

    @Jessica I’m surprised to see that IE6 is different now.

    When I developed Chili, it was just the same in all browsers, and I was quite proud of it, due to the many issues that I had to tackle to get there.

    Maybe there is something in the new jQuery that works differently, or I messed up Chili during the last rewrite.

    Unfortunately I no longer have IE6 installed in any PC I can think of now (home, work, friends) so it’ll be very difficult to track down the culprit for me.

    Just installed the 3.0-alpha version on an intranetsite and wrote two rudimentary recipes to highlight COBOL and JCL. The plugin works great and is much ‘lighter’ than the other available highlighter plugins (especially the one using Geshi). My compliments. Looking forward to the official release (and documentation) of v3.0.

    I’m seeing very different results in IE6 and Firefox.
