ColorCode-Universal

This is a port of ColorCode to .NET Standard. The original Html only formatter has been separated from the Logic, so now it can produce Syntax Highlighted code for any output.

This Project can currently produce HTML, and Render to UWP and WindowsAppSDK RichTextBlocks.

Usage

HTML

To use ColorCode to create colorised HTML, ensure you have installed the ColorCode.HTML NuGet package, then you can use the following code:

var csharpstring = "public void Method()\n{\n}";
var formatter = new HtmlFormatter();
var html = formatter.GetHtmlString(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp);

This will create the formatting into the HTML, via inline styling. To use CSS to format the HTML instead, use the following:

var csharpstring = "public void Method()\n{\n}";
var formatter = new HtmlClassFormatter();
var html = formatter.GetHtmlString(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp);
var css = formatter.GetCSSString();

You will then have to manually reference the css, from the HTML head.

UWP

To use ColorCode to render colorized code to a RichTextBlock, then you can use the following code:

var csharpstring = "public void Method()\n{\n}";
var formatter = new RichTextBlockFormatter();
formatter.FormatRichTextBlock(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp, PresentationBlock);

Or you can append onto an existing InlineCollection, with the following code:

var paragraph = new Paragraph();
var csharpstring = "public void Method()\n{\n}";
var formatter = new RichTextBlockFormatter();
formatter.FormatInlines(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp, paragraph.Inlines);

Determining the Programming Language

To get the Programming Language manually, you can provide the identifier name, with the following code:

var language = ColorCode.Languages.FindById("java");

See LanguageId.cs for the list of available Languages to parse.
