Is there a built in syntax highlighting for code?

[tlp]

I found this addon: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1463041493

However, it hasn’t been updated since 2018. Wondering if Anki has a built in syntax highlighting, or is there some alternative?

Thank you for reading.

There is no built-in syntax highlighting available - but that may also be because the add-on does the job perfectly as it is. I’m a computer science researcher and I have yet to find any issue with the addon.

Personally, I recommend enabling the option to use css classes by going to Tools >> Syntax Highlighting Options ... and making sure all boxes are checked. This formats the code snippets using css which you can customize as you see fit. For instance, I use it to make comments bolder and a different color for better visibility:

For maximum benefit, I recommend getting the CSS Injector Add-On as well, which lets you apply the same css classes directly in your editor as well.

Thank you ODeer!

Will try it out, and CSS Injector.

You can also try this addon. It doesn’t break your card’s html code with html/css elements (like Syntax Highlighting for Code) and it doesn’t modify your card templates (like some other addons).

Thank you!
