CommonMark Extension Pygments Highlighter
=========================================

[](#commonmark-extension-pygments-highlighter)

The `PygmentsHighlighter` extension adds support for using pygments to style blocks of code in Markdown documents.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This extension can be installed from packagist via composer:

```
composer require danielescherzer/commonmark-ext-pygments-highlighter
```

It depends on

- `league/commonmark` (version 2.7 or above; all lower versions have security issues)
- `ramsey/pygments` (version 3.0 or above)

Separately (not enforced via composer) you need to have python and the pygments python library installed. The extension is currently tested against

- Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13
- Pygments 2.17, 2.18, and 2.19

The pygments command is assumed to be at `pygmentize` (in the PATH); if this is not the case configure the correct path in the extension setup, see the configuration section below.

Syntax and results
