whichlang - Powerful Code Blocks for mdBook

• 🎨 Optimized for every theme.
• 🔥 Zero-Setup installation: Use the installer or download the standalone files from the repository.
• 🔧 Highly configurable.

Installation

In the directory of your book, install whichlang with the following command.

curl -sSf -o install-whichlang.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phoenixr-codes/mdbook-whichlang/master/install.sh &&
bash install-whichlang.sh

Alternatively, you can download dist/whichlang.js and src/whichlang.css and save them in the appropiate directories within your book.

Don't forget to add these files in your book.toml:

# ...

[output.html]
additional-css = ["path/to/whichlang.css"]
additional-js = ["path/to/whichlang.js"]

Uninstallation

Simply remove the whichlang.js and whichlang.css files and remove the references to them in the book.toml configuration file.

Usage

whichlang works out of the box. It detects the language defined on each code block and customizes them appropiately. You can furthermore configure them individually which is recommended:

• override the name of the language
• override the icon of the language
• set a file path shown in the code block

You can see examples and more precise explainations in the documentation.
