- since: 1.0.0

GeSHi GeSHi ([string $source = ''], [string $language = ''], [string $path = ''])

- string $source: The source code to highlight
- string $language: The language to highlight the source with
- string $path: The path to the language file directory. This is deprecated! I've backported the auto path detection from the 1.1.X dev branch, so now it should be automatically set correctly. If you have renamed the language directory however, you will still need to set the path using this parameter or GeSHi->set_language_path()

add_keyword (line 1441)

Adds a keyword to a keyword group for highlighting

- since: 1.0.0

void add_keyword (int $key, string $word)

enable_highlighting (line 1302)

- GESHI_FANCY_LINE_NUMBERS: Fancy line numbers will be displayed

For fancy line numbers, the second parameter is used to signal which lines are to be fancy. For example, if the value of this parameter is 5 then every 5th line will be fancy.

- since: 1.0.0

void enable_line_numbers (int $flag, [int $nth_row = 5])

- int $flag: How line numbers should be displayed

void get_language_name_from_extension (string $extension, [array $lookup = array()])

- string $extension: The extension to get a language name for
- array $lookup: A lookup array to use instead of the default one

- mixed $lines: An array of line numbers to highlight, or just a line number on its own.
- string $style: A string specifying the style to use for this line. If null is specified, the default style is used. If false is specified, the line will be removed from special highlighting

load_from_file (line 1425)

Given a file name, this method loads its contents in, and attempts

to set the language automatically. An optional lookup table can be passed for looking up the language name. If not specified a default table is used

The language table is in the form

    array(
       'lang_name' => array('extension', 'extension', ...),
       'lang_name' ...
     );

- todo: Complete rethink of this and above method

parse_code (line 1992)

Returns the code in $this->source, highlighted and surrounded by the nessecary HTML.

This should only be called ONCE, cos it's SLOW! If you want to highlight the same source multiple times, you're better off doing a whole lot of str_replaces to replace the &lt;span&gt;s

- since: 1.0.0

void parse_code ()
remove_keyword (line 1466)

Removes a keyword from a keyword group

- int $key: The key of the keyword group to remove the keyword from

- bool $recompile: Wether to automatically recompile the optimized regexp list or not. Note: if you set this to false and @see GeSHi->parse_code() was already called once, for the current language, you have to manually call @see GeSHi->optimize_keyword_group() or the removed keyword will stay in cache and still be highlighted! On the other hand it might be too expensive to recompile the regexp list for every removal if you want to remove a lot of keywords.

remove_keyword_group (line 1512)

Removes a keyword group

- since: 1.0.0

void remove_keyword_group (int $key)

- int $key: The key of the keyword group to remove

containing valid stylesheet declarations. If $preserve_defaults is true, then styles are merged with the default styles, with the user defined styles having priority

Sets what number line numbers should start at. Should be a positive integer, and will be converted to one.

Warning: Using this method will add the "start" attribute to the &lt;ol&gt; that is used for line numbering. This is not valid XHTML strict, so if that's what you care about then don't use this method. Firefox is getting support for the CSS method of doing this in 1.1 and Opera has support for the CSS method, but (of course) IE doesn't so it's not worth doing it the CSS way yet.
