TextformatterCodeBlocks
=======================

[](#textformattercodeblocks)

ProcessWire Textformatter module for enabling Markdown style code blocks for text or RTE fields.

Note: this is not a complete Markdown implementation, but rather a home-baked implementation of just one small part of the Markdown syntax. For full Markdown support, check out the TextformatterMarkdownExtra module, bundled with ProcessWire releases by default.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

- Copy (or clone) the TextformatterCodeBlocks directory to /site/modules/
- Go to Admin > Modules, hit "Refresh", and install TextformatterCodeBlocks
- Enable "Code Blocks Textformatter" for fields in which you wish to use code blocks

IMPORTANT: if you use Code Blocks Textformatter with a regular text or textarea field, make sure that you enable HTML Entity Encoder or use another method of escaping entities!

Code blocks
-----------

[](#code-blocks)

Code blocks should work fine when wrapped in `` or `` tags, so you can use them with RTE, such as CKEditor. This module supports two types of code blocks: fenced and inline.

*Note: following code examples have been escaped for better readability when rendered in GitHub. In a nutshell the syntax for fenced code blocks is three backticks around a code block, and for inline code blocks just sourround a specific piece of code with single backticks.*

### Fenced code blocks

[](#fenced-code-blocks)

Simple example:

```
```
` make more sense.`

The end result of inline code blocks looks like this:

`While fenced code blocks are great for longer code snippets, sometimes <?php echo "inline code blocks"; ?> make more sense.`

Enabling syntax highlighter
---------------------------

[](#enabling-syntax-highlighter)

Though syntax highlighting is not necessary for this module to work, it can be really helpful for your end users. You can use any syntax highlighter, but I would recommend Prism.js.

For detailed instructions on enabling Prism.js on your site, please visit .
