<h2>Syntax highlighting</h2>
<p>Since TriliumNext v0.90.12, Trilium will try to offer syntax highlighting
to the code block. Note that the syntax highlighting mechanism is slightly
different than the one in&nbsp;<a href="#root/_help_6f9hih2hXXZk">Code Notes</a>&nbsp;notes
different than the one in&nbsp;<a class="reference-link" href="#root/pOsGYCXsbNQG/KSZ04uQ2D1St/_help_6f9hih2hXXZk">Code</a>&nbsp;notes
as different technologies are involved.</p>
<p>When the language is set to <em>Auto-detected</em>, Trilium will try to
identify the programming language (or similar) that corresponds to the
given snippet of text and highlight it. If this is problematic, consider
changing the language of the code block manually.</p>
<p>When the language is set to <em>Plain text</em>, there will be no syntax
highlighting.</p>

<li>When the language is set to <em>Auto-detected</em> (by default), Trilium
will try to identify the programming language (or similar) that corresponds
to the given snippet of text and highlight it. If this is problematic,
consider changing the language of the code block manually.</li>
<li>When the language is set to <em>Plain text</em>, there will be no syntax
highlighting.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note that when editing a text note, syntax highlighting is automatically
disabled if the code block is too big (somewhere around 500 lines). This
value is currently not configurable. For&nbsp;<a class="reference-link"
href="#root/pOsGYCXsbNQG/gh7bpGYxajRS/BFs8mudNFgCS/_help_CoFPLs3dRlXc">Read-Only Notes</a>,
this limitation is not applied.</p>
<p>In order to configure this new feature, a section has been added in Options
→ Appearance to control the syntax highlighting. There the color scheme
can be chosen, from a builtin selection of themes from Highlight.js.</p>
<ul>
<li>It is possible to disable the syntax highlighting for all the notes by
selecting “No syntax highlighting” in the “Color scheme” option.</li>
<li>Word wrapping is disabled by default, but can be configured from the same
section.</li>

<aside class="admonition note">
<p><strong>Context regarding syntax highlighting</strong>
<br>
<br>In order to achieve the syntax highlight, the Highlight.js library is
being used. Do note that support for syntax highlighting in code blocks
is not a supported feature of the text editor we are using CKEditor), but
rather a hack which makes use of the highlights API (used for highlighting
search results for example). Nevertheless, we haven't noticed any major
issues during the development of the feature, but feel free to report any
issues you might have.</p>
<p>Most of the work to achieve the syntax highlight itself was already done
by <a href="https://github.com/antoniotejada">antoniotejada</a> in <a href="https://github.com/antoniotejada/Trilium-SyntaxHighlightWidget">https://github.com/antoniotejada/Trilium-SyntaxHighlightWidget</a>.
On our side we added customization but also additional functionality.</p>
</aside>
<h3>Migrating from existing syntax highlight plugins</h3>
<p>If you are already using a syntax highlighting plugin such as the <a href="https://github.com/antoniotejada/Trilium-SyntaxHighlightWidget">Trilium-SyntaxHighlightWidget</a> we
are basing off of, it is important to disable that plugin before upgrading
in order for it not to conflict with our implementation.</p>
<p>Should you encounter any issues after the migration, try running Trilium
in safe mode.</p>
<h2>Changing the language of a code block</h2>
