I built this after `highlight.js` being too heavy, and requiring a custom build to

remove unneeded parsers, and other highlighting packages having similar issues.

## Install

```sh

git clone git@github.com/github.com/bobbylight/jshighlight.git

cd jshighlight

npm install

npm run build   # Compiles source and builds the library into lib/

npm run dev     # Runs a demo app and watches for changes

```

The demo application will be hosted at [file://path/to/jshilight/demo/index.html]().

To run tests:

```sh

npm test         # Tests only

npm run coverage # Generates coverage report

```

The generated coverage report lives here:

```sh

open coverage/index.html

```

## Consuming the library in a TypeScript application

```typescript

import highlighter from 'jshighlight/lib/highlighter';

import JsonParser from 'jshighlight/lib/parsers/json-parser';

...

const html: string = highlighter.highlight(new JsonParser(), jsonStr);

```
