What it does

Highlights code in any programming language

microlight.js is a tiny open-source library which improves readability of code snippets by highlighting , for any programming language, without attaching additional language-packages or styles: Unlike other code-highlighting solutions, microlight.js does not keep a set of rules for many languages. Instead it uses a general highlighting strategy providing a reasonable highlight for most of them. As result: In fact, microlight.js does not care about what language the code is written in, nor does it care about the code structure.
