Usage

Web page or Node.js

Include the Highlight.js library in your webpage or Node app, then load this module.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/highlight.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"
  src="/path/to/highlightjs-mde-languages/dist/mde-languages.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  hljs.highlightAll();
</script>

Reveal.js

Using Asciidoctor Reveal.js

First, set the revealjs_plugins attribute in the beginning of your Asciidoc document:

:revealjs_plugins: revealjs-plugins.js

Second, create the revealjs-plugins.js file, next to your Asciidoc document (you can specify a different path, of you want):

{src: 'mde-languages.min.js', async:true, callback: function() { hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad(); }}

Asciidoctor Reveal.js will add this line to the generated Reveal.js configuration, allowing it to load the highlighjs-mde grammars.

Finally, compile your code and take a look at the generated html file. In the bottom, you should find the following lines:

  // Optional libraries used to extend on reveal.js
  dependencies: [
      { src: 'reveal.js/lib/js/classList.js', condition: function() { return !document.body.classList; } },
      { src: 'reveal.js/plugin/highlight/highlight.js', async: true, callback: function() { hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad(); } },
      { src: 'reveal.js/plugin/zoom-js/zoom.js', async: true },
      { src: 'reveal.js/plugin/notes/notes.js', async: true },
      {src: 'mde-languages.min.js', async:true, callback: function() { hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad(); }}
  ],

As you see, Asciidoctor Reveal.js just adds the contents of the revealjs-plugins.js to Reveal.js list of dependencies.

Examples

I use these grammars in the slides of my Model-driven Engineering course:

• MDE slides (sources).

• OCL slides (sources).
