    enable:
        - highlightjs

```

Unter `plugins.config.highlightjs` stehen dir die folgenden Optionen zur Verfügung:

```
# Folder with highlight.js stylesheets. If false, no styles are added.
stylesheets: "@plugin/highlightjs/assets/styles/"

# Highlight.js javascript. If false, no styles are added.
javascript: "@plugin/highlightjs/assets/highlight.pack.js"

# The initializer javascript with pure vanilla-javascript.
javascript_init: "@plugin/highlightjs/assets/highlightjs.js"

Das Plugin stellt dir den Shortcode \[code\] zur Verfügung, den du in deinen Seiteninhalten nutzen kannst. Als einzigen Parameter wird die Programmiersprache verlangt:

```
[code javascript]
    alert("Hello Herbie!");
[/code]

[code php]
    echo "Hello Herbie!";
[/code]

```

Unterstützte Sprachen
---------------------

[](#unterstützte-sprachen)

Das Highlight.js Package von Herbie unterstützt die folgenden Sprachen:

Apache, Bash, C#, C++, CSS, CoffeeScript, Diff, HTML, XML, HTTP, Ini, JSON, Java, JavaScript, Makefile, Markdown, Nginx, Objective C, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, SQL, Twig

Du kannst aber viele andere Sprachen einsetzen. Dazu stellst du dir dein eigenes Package unter  zusammen. Anschliessend muss die Plugin-Konfiguration angepasst werden.
