Code snippets are created using code formatting in Contentful and can be inline or span multiple lines (in which case use Shift+Enter to create line-breaks within a code block).
Syntax highlighting is implemented using highlight.js. The programming language is inferred automatically if no language hint is provided. E.g.:
def myFunction:
print('This is some Python code')
It is recommended to provide an explicit language hint, which can be done by including `lang=<code> as the first line. E.g. the following code block starts with `lang=ts:
import { CommonModule, NgModule } from '@angular/core';
({
imports: [CommonModule],
})
export class SomeModule {}
In addition to setting the language, the same syntax can be used to provide a caption for the code snippet (by including another line with `caption=Some descriptive caption):
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
}
There is also a shorthand available for when a snippet should be captioned with a file name. E.g. in the next snippet it's enough to only specify `file=src/greet.js (the language is determined by the file extension):
const greet = name => {
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
};
The implementation is not set in stone, so let us know if you have any trouble formatting code or want to suggest some changes 🙂

const greet = (name: string): string => {
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
