FAQ
What can I do with the exported HTML?
Paste it into a blog post, documentation page, or email that accepts raw HTML — the colors and background are inlined as styles, so it renders correctly without needing a separate stylesheet.
Which languages are supported?
JavaScript, Python, HTML, and CSS get keyword-aware highlighting; a "Generic" mode covers other languages with comment, string, and number highlighting only.
Is this a full syntax parser?
No — it uses pattern matching for common keywords, strings, comments, and numbers, which covers most snippets well without needing a heavy parsing library in your browser.
Does my code get uploaded anywhere?
No. Highlighting happens instantly in your browser as you type, and the HTML export is generated locally — nothing is sent to a server.
