Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the plugin with composer. Add the following your composer.json file: ``` "require": { "markstory/geshi": "~3.0" } ``` After running `composer update` you should also remember to load the plugin. In your application's bootstrap.php file add the following: ``` Plugin::load('Geshi'); ``` ### Include the helper in your controller [](#include-the-helper-in-your-controller) The GeSHi helper offers three different ways to set GeSHi's features, which affects how you will include the helper in your controller. If you want to use a `geshi.php` configuration file, or you want to set the features from within your view later, make sure to include without pre-configuration. Otherwise if you want to include the features' settings in your helper declaration, include with pre-configuration, both explained next. ### Include without pre-configuration [](#include-without-pre-configuration) To use the helper, include the helper in your View: ``` public $helpers = ['Geshi.Geshi']; ``` You will have to include a `geshi.php` configuration file or simply set the features later from your view. ### Include with pre-configuration [](#include-with-pre-configuration) To use the helper and specify specific GeSHi features, use the options form of including helpers: ``` public $helpers = [ 'Geshi.Geshi' => [ 'set_header_type' => ['GESHI_FANCY_LINE_NUMBERS', 5] ] ]; ``` Where the passed-in key is a GeSHi function name, and the passed-in values is an array of values for the function. Note that because GeSHi's own constants are out of scope at this point, you must quote named constants as shown above. GeshiHelper will resolve them for you. ### Methods [](#methods) **highlight($html)** This method will scan HTML for `` blocks with a known lang attribute. This method is good for highlighting code samples in blog posts or wiki pages. You can indicate the language of the text in a `` block by setting the lang attribute. For example: ``` Geshi->features` in your view.
