Hello, I use [DokuWiki](https://www.dokuwiki.org) on my website, that in turns use the [GeSHi](http://qbnz.com/highlighter/) Generic Syntax Highlighter. The problem is that Julia is not supported on that library.
Do you know of syntax highlighting libraries for the web with Julia support ?

I did try pushing this [unofficial GeSHi plugin](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/john9631/JuliaDocs/master/julia.php) to [DoKuWikl root]/vendor/easybook/geshi/geshi but it’s still not working…

This should work.

> using Julia print("Test for Julia") A = \[0 1 ; 0 1\]; Syntax highlighting in Julia exists? Yes, you can make it work even though no plugins currently support it. The way I was able to get it to work was to use the WP-GeSHi-Highlight WordPress plugin...
Edit: looks like you may have tried that?

[Prism](http://prismjs.com/#languages) has a Julia language definition and works pretty well.

yes, and now I know why it wasn’t working.
Some bug in Geshi engine doesn’t allow multiline comments in the Julia format #= … #= (if you use #=… #= wherever in the page, the whole page is not syntax highlighted… yes, I did try setting ‘COMMENT\_MULTI’ =\> array(‘#=’ =\> ‘=#’), in the Geshi Julia plug-in file).
As Geshi seems pretty a dead project, I would just hope DokuWiki would update its default syntax highlight engine to something more modern (e.g. prism, as suggested by @amellnik) …
thanks

[highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/) supports Julia because I wrote the Julia support 😉.
