On requesting new languages
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a general answer to requests for adding new languages that appear from
|
||
|
|
time to time in the highlight.js issue tracker and discussion group.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Highlight.js doesn't have a fundamental plan for implementing languages,
|
||
|
|
instead the project works by accepting language definitions from
|
||
|
|
interested contributors. There are also no rules at the moment forbidding
|
||
|
|
any languages from being added to the library, no matter how obscure or
|
||
|
|
weird.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This means that there's no point in requesting a new language without
|
||
|
|
providing an implementation for it. If you want to see a particular language
|
||
|
|
included in highlight.js but cannot implement it, the best way to make it
|
||
|
|
happen is to get another developer interested in doing so. Here's our
|
||
|
|
:doc:`language-guide`.
