Drupal Geshi Cheatsheet

Published on 05 June 2018 • Estimated reading time: 1 minutes

Since redoing this blog, I switched out the syntax highlighting to use the Drupal Geshi Module. For the love of everything, I can't remember the tricks for using it, so here’s a cheatsheet—mostly for myself but maybe you’ll find it valuable too. These are all HTML attributes you can add to your code block:

• language: controls the language for rendering.
• line_numbering: controls whether line numbering is off, on, or fancy, with the values off, normal, and fancy respectively.
• With fancy line numbers, you can use the attribute interval to control how often to show the line numbers.
• title: adds a title to the code block.
• special_lines: takes a comma-separated list of numbers and highlights them.
• linenumbers_start: controls what the first line number is.

(Information worked out from this code.)
