PrismSharp is a syntax highlighting library based on an excellent javascript library PrismJS, fully written in C#. It currently supports over 270 programming languages and has 44 built in visual themes, also supporting custom themes.
-
Tokenizer - engine converting a source code to a tree of tokens - pairs of code fragments and their meanings, e.g.
foreach - keyword -
Abstract Highlighter - an abstract base class making it easy to implement a custom highlighter creating virtually any output format
-
HTML Highlighter - a highlighter creating output in html format (HTML
spans or a singlepreblock). A PrismJS CSS theme must be included in the html document to render the output correctly -
RTF Highlighter - a highlighter creating output in RTF format. Can be used in GUI components like RichBox. See Implementing code editor
The tokenizer and the highlighters support tokenizing (highlighting) of the entire code or just a range of it, when high performance is needed.
var code = "Console.WriteLine(\"Hello, World!\"); // demo";
var beginning = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><meta charset=\"UTF-8\">" +

var ending = "</body></html>";
var highlighter = new HtmlHighlighter();
highlighter.WrapByPre = true;
var res = highlighter.Highlight(code, "csharp");
File.WriteAllText("output.html", beginning + res + ending); var code = "Console.WriteLine(\"Hello, World!\"); // demo";
var highlighter = new RtfHighlighter(ThemeNames.Vs);
highlighter.Font = "Consolas";
var res = highlighter.Highlight(code, "csharp");
File.WriteAllText("output.rtf", res);The library is available via Nuget:
