Syntax Highlighting with Phiki

Prezet v1.1+ includes syntax highlighting out of the box via phikiphp/phiki, a modern PHP-based highlighter fully integrated with CommonMark.

#How It Works

Phiki automatically highlights code blocks based on the language you specify. Highlighting happens during markdown parsing when the file is rendered to HTML.

Here's an example of some php code using the MaterialTheme:

public function handle(): int
{
    // Add the prezet disk to the filesystems config
    $this->addStorageDisk();
    $this->copyContentStubs();
    $this->publishVendorFiles();
    $this->copyTailwindFiles();
    $this->installNodeDependencies();

    return self::SUCCESS;
}

#Configuration

Phiki is pre-configured in config/prezet.php among the CommonMark extensions:

'extensions' => [
    // ...
    Phiki\CommonMark\PhikiExtension::class,
],

Customize Phiki through the phiki key in the config section:

'config' => [
    'phiki' => [
        'theme' => \Phiki\Theme\Theme::NightOwl,
        'with_gutter' => false,
        'with_wrapper' => true
    ]
],

#Options

For more details, see the Phiki CommonMark integration docs.

#Themes

Change the theme by updating the theme option in config/prezet.php:

'phiki' => [
    'theme' => \Phiki\Theme\Theme::GitHub,
],
