Options

You can pass a second argument to this extension to override a few defaults.

// Default options
{
  tag: 'code',
  langs: ['xml', 'css', 'scss', 'javascript'],
  // You could overwrite this wrap() to remove the <pre>
  wrap (html) {
    return `<pre>${ html }</pre>`
  }
}

Also, you can access these from the nunjucks environment.

const codeExtension = env.extensions['code-highlight']
codeExtension.langs = ['xml'] // only auto-detect "xml"
codeExtension.wrap = v => v // no more <pre>...</pre>
