ColorCode-Universal

To generate HTML with syntax highlighting using inline CSS styles, install the ColorCode.HTML NuGet package and use the HtmlFormatter class. The GetHtmlString method takes the source code string and a Languages identifier.

var formatter = new HtmlFormatter();
var html = formatter.GetHtmlString(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp);

To generate HTML that uses CSS classes instead of inline styles, use the HtmlClassFormatter from the ColorCode.HTML package. You must call GetCSSString() to retrieve the required CSS and manually include it in your HTML <head>.

var formatter = new HtmlClassFormatter();
var html = formatter.GetHtmlString(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp);
var css = formatter.GetCSSString();

To render syntax-highlighted code directly into a UWP RichTextBlock, use the RichTextBlockFormatter from the ColorCode.UWP package. You can either format into a specific PresentationBlock or append to an existing InlineCollection.

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

// Option 2: Append to an existing InlineCollection
var paragraph = new Paragraph();
var csharpstring = "public void Method()\n{\n}";
var formatter = new RichTextBlockFormatter();
formatter.FormatInlines(csharpstring, Languages.CSharp, paragraph.Inlines);

You can manually retrieve a language object by providing its string identifier using ColorCode.Languages.FindById(string id). Refer to LanguageId.cs in the ColorCode.Core package for the full list of supported language identifiers.

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

The project is split into several packages depending on your target output:
