Prism is a lightweight and fast JavaScript based Syntax Highlighter. It is written based on HTML5 standard. It uses <code class="language-xxxx"></code> for posting code. Before <code>, it needs <pre>. Pre tag is required for backward compatibility. We should use <pre> as wherever JavaScript does not work, <pre> will work and keep code readable.
Prism support different Syntax Highlighting syntax. For example, Code can be inside <pre class="language-xxxx">, etc.
According to Prism:
Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind.
How Code looks with Prism Syntax Highlighter?
HTML page with Prism Syntax Highlighter
Because Prism support <pre><code class="language-xxxx"> syntax for code highlighting, I need to modify plugin code I was using for Escaping HTML/Markup. I will create new plugin for Prism for escaping markup.
