Anything could be embedded into each other, e.g. `header("Content-Type: text/html")` or `color: expression(parentNode.style.color)`. - Allows using HTML tags in source code (could be used for pointing out important parts): `echo "This part is important."`. Produces overlapping HTML tags in this case though. - Performance is a priority. - `` [syntax highlight](textarea.html). Installation instructions ------------------------- [](#installation-instructions) 1. Copy [jush.css](jush.css) and [jush.js](jush.js) into your directory. 2. Add following snippet before the `` tag in HTML file: ``` jush.style('jush.css'); jush.highlight_tag('code'); ``` All `` tags will be highlighted. Language is determined by the class name beginning with "jush-" (e.g. ``). Default language is `htm`. It is also possible to use ``. 3. If you want to enable dark mode, call `jush.style('jush-dark.css')`. To enable it only based on user preferences, call `jush.style('jush-dark.css', '(prefers-color-scheme: dark)')`. Alternatively call `jush.highlight(language, text)` to syntax highlight single text. Command-line help reference --------------------------- [](#command-line-help-reference) It is also possible to use JUSH for opening the appropriate documentation in a browser: ``` Syntax: node jush-help.js filename line column [tabsize] [word] Example: node jush-help.js demo.html 2 2 ``` The example should open a browser with documentation of the `` tag which is at position 2:2 of [demo.html](demo.html). Updating language references ---------------------------- [](#updating-language-references) The `update/` directory holds scripts which sync a language module's list of keywords, functions and classes from an upstream reference file. For example, [update/php.php](update/php.php) rebuilds the class and function lists in `modules/jush-php.js` from a `php.api` file (from [scite-files](https://github.com/moltenform/scite-files/blob/main/files/files/api_files/php.api)): ``` php update/php.php path/to/php.api ``` [update/sql.php](update/sql.php) rebuilds the MySQL/MariaDB lists in `modules/jush-sql.js` from the MySQL online manual (the index pages are cached in the given directory) and a checkout of [mariadb-docs](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-docs): ``` php update/sql.php path/to/mysql-cache path/to/mariadb-docs ``` ### Health Score 64 — FairBetter than 99% of packages Maintenance97 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity51 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community26 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity69 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 95.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
