pre tag without proof. Before embedding a source code list to show this, I'll make more assertions and then verify them.highlight.js has the support, while google-source-prettify doesn't.
For example, you want to attach the following Matlab code to your blog entry.
SyntaxHighlight doesn't have the Matlab support. For highlight.js, here's the result.
function [rr_array] = nest_fun(x,a)
%function to find sets of polynormials.
% a: set of constants, [A B C]
% x: variables in array
% Example: rr=nest_fun(2:10,[1 2 4;2 4 8])
n = size(a);
for i = 1:n
A = a(i,1);B = a(i,2);C = a(i,3);
rr_array{1,i}=['A=',num2str(A),', B=',...
num2str(B),', C=',num2str(C)];
rr_array{2,i}=polyx(x);
end
function r = polyx(xx)
r = A.*x.^2 + B.*x +C;
end
end

| highlight.js works on some computer(s). |
Code copied from Applications of Matlab in Engineering. I'm not the only one to find out that the Matlab support of highlight.js is defective. [1]
We just see how google-code-prettify works.
function [rr_array] = nest_fun(x,a)
%function to find sets of polynormials.
% a: set of constants, [A B C]
% x: variables in array
% Example: rr=nest_fun(2:10,[1 2 4;2 4 8])
n = size(a);
for i = 1:n
A = a(i,1);B = a(i,2);C = a(i,3);
rr_array{1,i}=['A=',num2str(A),', B=',...
num2str(B),', C=',num2str(C)];
rr_array{2,i}=polyx(x);
end
function r = polyx(xx)
r = A.*x.^2 + B.*x +C;
end
end
Note: In the official README, it's said that we specify the lang-* class by its file extension (i.e. m), but in the page that display the source code of lang-matlab.js on Google Code, it points to the author's Github repository, which has a README file. According to that file, the HTML tag should be <pre class="prettyprint lang-matlab">, instead of <pre class="prettyprint lang-m">.So when one embeds the above source code list using google-code-prettify, one would write
<pre class="prettyprint lang-matlab">function [rr_array] = nest_fun(x,a)
%function to find sets of polynormials.
% a: set of constants, [A B C]
% x: variables in array
% Example: rr=nest_fun(2:10,[1 2 4;2 4 8])
n = size(a);
for i = 1:n
A = a(i,1);B = a(i,2);C = a(i,3);
rr_array{1,i}=['A=',num2str(A),', B=',...
num2str(B),', C=',num2str(C)];
rr_array{2,i}=polyx(x);
end
function r = polyx(xx)
r = A.*x.^2 + B.*x +C;
end
end

Let's go back to the topic.SyntaxHighlighter
The SyntaxHighlighter code for embedding Java:<pre class="brush: java">public class Hello {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
</pre>
As the language in determined by brush: html, there's no multiple language feature in SyntaxHighlighter.
highlight.js
<pre class="brush: java">public class Hello {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
</pre>
google-code-prettify
<pre class="brush: java">public class Hello {
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
</pre>
So the result of google-code-prettify is similar to that of SyntaxHighlighter.Further results of highlight.js
We end this essay with more results in highlight.js.In order to embed multilingual source code in a list, highlight.js is what you need, but if you insist on using google-code-prettify, here's some sample code.
<pre class="prettyprint">public class Hello {
// Java code sample
public static void main(String args[]) {
System.out.println("Hello world!");
}
}
<!-- CSS code-->
.sidebar #sidebar, .ss{
margin-top: 12px !important;
overflow-y: scroll !important;
}
# C++ code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}
</pre>
