wagtail-hljs 0.1.1

StreamField code blocks for the Wagtail CMS with real-time Highlight.js Syntax Highlighting.

Wagtail Highlight.js

Wagtail Highlight.js is a syntax highlighter block for source code for the Wagtail CMS. It features real-time highlighting in the Wagtail editor, the front end, and support for Highlight.js themes.

It uses the Highlight.js library both in Wagtail Admin and the website.

Example Usage

First, add wagtail_hljs to your INSTALLED_APPS in Django's settings. Here's a bare bones example:

from wagtail.blocks import TextBlock
from wagtail.fields import StreamField
from wagtail.models import Page
from wagtail.admin.panels import FieldPanel

from wagtail_hljs.blocks import CodeBlock


class HomePage(Page):
    body = StreamField([
        ("heading", TextBlock()),
        ("code", CodeBlock(label='Code')),
    ])

    content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
        FieldPanel("body"),
    ]

You can also force it to use a single language or set a default language by providing a language code which must be included in your WAGTAIL_HLJS_LANGUAGES setting:

bash_code = CodeBlock(label='Bash Code', language='bash')
any_code = CodeBlock(label='Any code', default_language='python')

Installation & Setup

To install Wagtail Highlight.js run:

# Wagtail 4.0 and greater
pip install wagtail-hljs

And add wagtail_hljs to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtail_hljs',
    ...
]

Django Settings

Themes

Wagtail Highlight.js supports all themes that Highlight.js supports. Here are a few of them:

• None: Default
• 'atom-one-dark': Atom One Dark
• 'base16/darcula': Base 16 Darcula
• 'nord': Nord
• 'srcery': Srcery
• 'xt256': XT256
• 'night-owl': Night Owl

For example, if you want to use the Night Owl theme: WAGTAIL_HLJS_THEME = 'night-owl'. However, if you want the default theme then do this: WAGTAIL_HLJS_THEME=None.

Languages Available

You can customize the languages available by configuring WAGTAIL_HLJS_LANGUAGES in your Django settings. By default, it will be set with these languages, since most users are in the Python web development community:

WAGTAIL_HLJS_LANGUAGES = (
    ('bash', 'Bash/Shell'),
    ('css', 'CSS'),
    ('diff', 'diff'),
    ('html', 'HTML'),
    ('javascript', 'Javascript'),
    ('json', 'JSON'),
    ('python', 'Python'),
    ('scss', 'SCSS'),
    ('yaml', 'YAML'),
)

Each language in this setting is a tuple of the Highlight.js code and a descriptive label. If you want use all available languages, here is a list:
