GeSHi or Generic Syntax Highlighter is a free software library that allows syntax highligting of source code for several markup- and programming languages. The program is written in PHP and is bundled or available as an add-on in popular web-based applications, such as Dokuwiki, Mambo, MediaWiki, phpBB and WikkaWiki. Wikipedia uses GeSHi as its primary syntax highlighter. Among its notable features:

* Fully CSS-driven output
* Support for 110+ markup and programming languages
* Extensibility via custom language files
* XHTML 1.1 and CSS Level 2 compliance
* Auto-caps/noncaps of keywords
* Line numbering
* Word wrapping
* Automatic generation of links to programming language documentation

History

GeSHi was originally designed as a module to introduce syntax highlighting in the phpBB board system. Later, it was made to work without a phpBB as a stand-alone library.

After a long time of inactivity the project was handed over to Benny Baumann on March 15, 2008.
