I was trying to use prettify.js
to higlight my html code. Here is my html code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Making Quines Prettier</title>
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/code-prettify/master/loader/run_prettify.js?autoload=true&skin=sunburst&lang=HTML" defer="defer"></script>
<style>.operative { font-weight: bold; border:1px solid yellow }</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Language hints can be put in XML application directive style comments. -->
<pre class="prettyprint">
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
</pre>
</body>
</html>
What I am expecting it just show
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
but its rendering HTML code and displaying output as:
you need to escape the content so that they are not rendered as html tags
so the code would be written as
<pre class="prettyprint">
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
</pre>
See the example here: http://jsfiddle.net/s1ckfbsj/1/
EDIT
If you really want to write html and have it rendered, here's an option:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"></script>
<pre class="prettyprint">
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
<h1>Making Quines Prettier</h1>
</pre>
<script>
$(function() {
$('.prettyprint').each(function() {
var $self = $(this);
var html = $self.html();
$self.text(html);
});
});
</script>
See the second example here: http://jsfiddle.net/s1ckfbsj/2/
