=========
This **(fun)** project uses [Prism.js](https://github.com/LeaVerou/prism) to make a really lightweight syntax highlighting solution for AutoHotkey.
This Syntax highlighting javascript lacks autohotkey keywords and simply **relies on regex** to highlight code. Any valid AHK code will thus
highlight correctly. See [demo](https://rawgit.com/aviaryan/lightAHK/master/test.html)
**Note** - Highlighting may encounter issues due to its **total** reliance on **regex**.
Prism also has full AutoHotkey syntax highlighting. Get it at their [download page](http://prismjs.com/download.html).
This highlighting script for AutoHotkey weighs upto **14 times less** than that distributed with Prism. It is recommended to use this highlighting
script *only* when you're sure the code is correct. Small chunks of code usually don't have *typos* or *hidden issues* and thus perfect for usage with
this script.
The whole highlight package = 850 + 4111 + 1525 = **6.4kb**
## Using
Include these 3 files in the `` tag.
Then use `language-autohotkey` class in code tag for highlighting.

### More themes and docs
Please get more themes from [Prism](http://prismjs.com)'s website. As this project uses Prism.js and is nothing on its own,
[Prismjs.com](http://prismjs.com) is the best resource for more information. If you need more help, open an issue.
### Bugs
Bugs may exist due to the regex factor mentioned above. Feel free to open an issue when you encounter one.
