Read the Documentation.
pnpm add @pierre/highlights
Runs in Node.js, browsers, and Cloudflare Workers. The package initializes WebAssembly automatically; highlighting calls are synchronous after import.
import { codeToHtml } from '@pierre/highlights';
import { pierreDark } from '@pierre/highlights/themes';
const htmlBytes = codeToHtml("console.log('Hello world!')", {
lang: 'js',
theme: pierreDark,
});
const html = new TextDecoder().decode(htmlBytes);
codeToHtml() returns UTF-8 HTML bytes. Decode them immediately, or copy them
with .slice() before the next highlighting or tokenization call.
See the docs for token rendering, streaming, incremental editing, themes, and the API reference.
