COBOL - syntax highlighting for highlight.js

Usage

Warning: This syntax highlighter is designed to work with fixed-form only and won't work properly with free-form COBOL code. Simply include the Highlight.js library in your webpage or Node app, then load this module.

Static website or simple usage

Simply load the module after loading Highlight.js. You'll use the minified version found in the dist directory. This module is just a CDN build of the language, so it will register itself as the Javascript is loaded.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/highlight.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"
  src="/path/to/highlightjs-cobol/dist/cobol.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  hljs.highlightAll();
</script>

Using directly from the UNPKG CDN

<script type="text/javascript"
  src="https://unpkg.com/highlightjs-cobol/dist/cobol.min.js"></script>

• More info: https://unpkg.com

With Node or another build system

If you're using Node / Webpack / Rollup / Browserify, etc, simply require the language module, then register it with Highlight.js.

var hljs = require('highlightjs');
var hljsCOBOL = require('highlightjs-cobol');

hljs.registerLanguage("cobol", hljsCOBOL);
hljs.highlightAll();
