History

The syntax parser is based on Java Prettify, which is a Java port of Google Prettify, the current version ported is 4-Mar-2013. The copyright holder of the Google Prettify is Mike Samuel ([e-mail]). It is licensed under the Apache license Version 2.

The original work on this port was done by Chan Wai Shing ([e-mail]), and was published on https://code.google.com/p/java-prettify/. This was then moved to GitHub, and made into a Maven-project by Thijs Walcarius.

Version 2.0.0 still used the name 'java-prettify', and added support for the RichTextFX-controls, which require Java 8. Version 3.0.0 upgraded was renamed to 'SyntaxHighlighterFX' to better represent the goal of this library. It was modularized and edited to support Java 10.
