3. Colorize text

Colorizing is enabled in tables without additional macros (see HelpOnTables).

See also How can I colorize my text? in the FAQ.

4. Colorize code (Syntax Highlighting)

There are several ways to highlight code:

  1. Start a special code block containing the parser's name: {{{#!parsername

  2. Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as ".py") with {{attachment:test.py}}

  3. Begin a page with the format processing instruction: #format parsername

Example.

To see the list of supported languages see HelpOnParsers.
