About

Sunlight is written in JavaScript and provides automatic syntax highlighting to blocks of code contained within an HTML document. It can also serve as a plain text to HTML converter. It’s a lot smarter than other syntax highlighters that perform the same task.

Sunlight has been tested and confirmed to work properly in IE6+, Firefox 2+, Chrome 10, Safari 4 and Opera 11. Note that some features are disabled or not supported in IE6. See here for details. See here for reasons.

For usage and installation, see the documentation.
