JavaScript syntax highlighter

uploaded: 27th June 2k6

JavaScript is required for the text-parser to work.

A syntax parser for JavaScript code. All occurrences of the symbols: <, >, " and & are replaced with character entities. then the syntax is highlighted. No checks are made for valid code.

CSS

Highlight colours are defined by:


<style type="text/css">
  span.comment  {color:#060; font-weight:normal}
  span.oper     {color:#006; font-weight:normal}
  span.var      {color:#600; font-weight:normal}
  span.func     {color:#606; font-weight:normal}
  span.num      {color:#300; font-weight:bold}
  span.string   {color:#066; font-weight:normal}
  span.reg      {color:#666; font-weight:normal}
</style>
