Embedding Code Snippets

Online Syntax Highlighters


Online syntax highlighters make the process of embedding code snippets easy! All you need to do is convert the code snippet into HTML first, and then embed your HTML into your slideshow. 

Here are a couple of syntax highlighters I've used:

  • ToHTML.com
    • Auto-detects language (which you can customize)

  • Markup.su
    • Offers several color schemes

        <a href="#/users/{{ comment.username }}">{{ comment.username }}</a> | 
        <a ng-click="removeComment(comment, commentId)" 
           ng-show="signedIn() && comment.username === currentUser.username">
           <span class="ionicons ion-trash-b"> Delete</span>
        </a>
      </p>
    </div>
  </div> // Psst! All the HTML in this black box is editable!
