The Syntax Highlighting Application doesn’t use Highlight.JS (it uses CodeMirror), I think you’re confusing with the Highlight Macro: * Syntax Highlighting Application (CodeMirror): http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Syntax+Highlighting+Ap… * Highlight Macro: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Highlight+Macro I recommend using the Syntax Highlighting Application which is more maintained than the Highlight Macro, but it’s possible that the Highlight Macro works very well too (haven’t tried it for a long time).  I’d be interested in a comparison between the 2 actually so that we can mention the pros and cons of each on their documentation pages. I have no idea if they’re compatible or not, probably not since they’ll both try to highlight content... I don’t understand what you mean. You said you tried to delete the Syntax Highlighting Application and then the next sentence says that Highlight JS Macro remains. Of course it remains since you didn’t uninstall it. BTW don’t delete pages, instead prefer uninstalling the extension from the Administration page. Thanks -Vincent

Hi Sonic, You`re clearly mixing things up a bit. I`m not very familiar with the Highlight Macro [1] but, as the name implies, it is a macro that is used at rendering time. That means that you go in edit more, you use the macro in the actual content of the page to wrap some code in it and then you go into view mode and see the code pretty printed with syntax highlighted and all. What the Syntax Highlighting Application [2] does is that, at *edit* time, it augments your editor so that syntax highlighting is done *while you are editing* the page. It is not for presentation purposes (like a macro is), but it is there to help you edit script codes inside pages (example: velocity scripts, JavaScript/CSS inside Style/JavaScript Extensions, etc). Once you save the page and go to view mode, the code you wrote usually executes and you see a result, but not (a pretty print of) the code itself. So the Syntax Highlighting Application is a tool to help you write XWiki applications (if you may), while the Highlight Macro is a container to help you display/present some code inside the content of a wiki page, but not to execute it. There is no issue of them running at the same time, because they do different things. Hope this helps, Eduard ---------- [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Highlight+Macro [2] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Syntax+Highlighting+Ap… On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 1:36 PM, Sonic <timuralena1(a)gmail.com> wrote:
