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:
Start a special code block containing the parser's name: {{{#!parsername
Embed a file attachment bearing a supported extension (such as ".py") with {{attachment:test.py}}
Begin a page with the format processing instruction: #format parsername
To see the list of supported languages see HelpOnParsers.
