How to add JavaFX to SyntaxHighlighter

Filed under: JavaFX | 2 Responses

I got sick and tired of my JavaFX code not having proper syntax highlighting on my blog and in my presentations, so I extended SyntaxHighlighter to do just that.

How to implement it

First, you’ll want to download SyntaxHighlighter or get the Wordpress plugin (and make a donation, it really is a cool piece of work). Next, unzip or otherwise install it. Download my shBrushJavaFX.js and copy it to <install_directory>/scripts

If you’re using the Wordpress plugin, you’ll have to edit the syntaxhighlighter.php file like so:

//About line 112, just after this line
$this->aliases = apply_filters( 'agsyntaxhighlighter_aliases', array(

//Add the following:
'JavaFX'  => array('jfx', 'javafx'),

Now give it a try using the language “javafx” or “jfx”!

JavaFX highlighting demo

def wheelCenterY:Number = stageHeight / 2 - 30;
var winnerId:Integer;
var wheelRotation:Number = 360 on replace {
    //Set winner
    winnerId = ((wheelRotation mod 360) / 360.0 * arr.size()).intValue();
}
var contestants = ["Eric","Fred","Helga"];
insert "Olaf" after contestants[0];
// contestants -> Eric,Olaf,Fred,Helga
delete "Helga" from contestants;
// contestants -> Eric,Olaf,Fred

Download the Javascript code for SyntaxHighlighter 2.0.x or SyntaxHighlighter 1.5.x. Let me know if you see any bugs or have any feedback. Enjoy!

    I recommend upgrading SH to 2.0.296 which fixes green picka-boos on the mac.
