Code Highlight Widget

🎯 Purpose

Designed to display formatted code snippets with syntax highlighting and style options, this widget is perfect for blogs, tutorials, documentation, or developer portfolios.

⚙️ Core Features

1. Multiple Language Support

   • Automatically highlights syntax for numerous programming and markup languages (e.g., JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python, PHP).

   • Uses an intuitive dropdown to specify the appropriate language.

2. Editable Code Input

   • Paste or write code directly into the widget’s content field.

   • Maintains indentation and formatting for clarity.

3. Highlight Specific Lines

   • Mark particular lines to emphasize important segments (e.g., key steps or critical logic).

   • You can hide or accentuate lines to draw focus where needed.

4. Line Numbers

   • Toggle line numbering on or off.

   • Adjust appearance to match your theme style.

🎨 Style & Layout Options

• Typography Controls

  • Customize font family (monospace is typical), size, weight, letter spacing, and color for readability.

• Background & Borders

  • Set background color, padding, border width, style, radius, and color to make code sections stand out.

• Line Number Styling

  • Separate settings for line number color, typography, and spacing.

• Highlighted Line Appearance

  • Apply distinct styling (background or text color) to emphasized lines.

• Responsive Settings

  • Tweak styling for table, mobile, and desktop devices—line heights and padding can vary per device for optimal readability.

🛠️ Use Cases

• Technical blogs or tutorials where code clarity is key.

• Documentation pages with sample code blocks.

• Developer portfolios showcasing code snippets.

• API demos or instructional content requiring code preview.

✅ Best Practices

• Select a suitable language to enable correct syntax styling.

• Use consistent indentation and formatting for better clarity.

• Highlight only the most essential lines—too many highlights reduce impact.

• Choose readable fonts, color contrasts, and comfortable padding.

• Use responsive options to prevent wrapping or overflow on smaller screens.

• Test mobile responsiveness to ensure readability across devices.
