Code block

Razor

Stacks provides styling for code blocks with syntax highlighting provided by highlight.js. Special care was taken to make sure our light and dark themes felt like Stack Overflow while maintaining near AAA color contrasts and still being distinguishable for those with a color vision deficiency.

Class Applies to Output
.s-code-block pre Adds proper styling to pre-formatted code.
.linenums .s-code-block Adds a line numbers column to the code block.
.linenums:<n> .s-code-block Adds a line numbers column to the code block starting at a number <n>.

The following examples are a small subset of the languages that highlight.js supports.
