<h2 id="summary">Summary<a class="headerlink" href="#summary" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>The Fenced Code Blocks extension adds a secondary way to define code blocks,
which overcomes a few limitations of the indented code blocks.</p>
<p>This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.</p>
<h2 id="syntax">Syntax<a class="headerlink" href="#syntax" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>Fenced Code Blocks are defined using the syntax established in
<a href="http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#fenced-code-blocks">PHP Markdown Extra</a>.</p>
<p>Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):</p>
<pre><code>This is a paragraph introducing:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a one-line code block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
</code></pre>
<p>Fenced code blocks can have a blank line as the first and/or last line of a
code block and they can also come immediately after a list item without becoming
part of the list.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p>Fenced Code Blocks are only supported at the document root level.
Therefore, they cannot be nested inside lists or blockquotes.</p>
</div>
<h3 id="language">Language<a class="headerlink" href="#language" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>In addition to PHP Extra’s syntax, you can define the language of the code
block for use by syntax highlighters etc. The language will be assigned as a
class attribute of the <code><code></code> element in the output. Therefore, you should
define the language as you would a css class - <code>.language</code>. For consistency
with other markdown syntax, the language can <em>optionally</em> be wrapped in curly
brackets:</p>
<pre><code>~~~~{.python}
# python code
~~~~
~~~~.html
<p>HTML Document</p>
~~~~
</code></pre>
<p>The above will output:</p>
<pre><code><pre><code class="python"># python code
</code></pre>
<pre><code class="html">&lt;p&gt;HTML Document&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>
</code></pre>
<p><a href="http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/">Github</a>‘s backtick (```) syntax is also supported:</p>
<pre><code>```python
# more python code
```
</code></pre>
<h3 id="emphasized-lines">Emphasized Lines<a class="headerlink" href="#emphasized-lines" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3>
<p>If you would like to have your fenced code blocks highlighted with the
<a href="code_hilite.html">CodeHilite</a> extension, simply enable that extension (remember that
<a href="http://pygments.org/">Pygments</a> is its dependency) and the language of your fenced code blocks
will be passed in and highlighted appropriately.</p>
<p>Similar to the <a href="code_hilite.html#colons">colon</a> syntax of the CodeHilite extension, fenced code blocks
can also have emphasized certain lines of code.</p>
<p>The lines can be specified with PHP Extra’s syntax:</p>
<pre><code>~~~~{.python hl_lines="1 3"}
# This line is emphasized
# This line isn't
# This line is emphasized
~~~~
</code></pre>
<p>… or with GitHub’s:</p>
<pre><code>```python hl_lines="1 3"
# This line is emphasized
# This line isn't
# This line is emphasized
```
</code></pre>
<h2 id="usage">Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
<p>See <a href="index.html">Extensions</a> for general extension usage, specify <code>fenced_code</code>
as the name of the extension.</p>
<p>This extension does not accept any special configuration options.</p>
