Code prettify#

This JSPWikiStyle lets you add syntax coloring to your code blocks. (inside triple { brackets)

It is based on Google's code prettifier.

The lexer should work with a number of languages including C and friends, Java, Python, Bash, SQL, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, and Make. It works passably with Ruby, PHP, Awk, and a decent subset of Perl; but, because of commenting conventions, doesn't work with Smalltalk, Lisp-like, or CAML-like languages.

--DF May 2007, included since v2.5.79.

Since this is based off of Google's Code Prettifier, will there be a way to add line numbers and specify which language is used?

Currently, this dynamic style does not support any parameters, so you can't specify any language, nor add line numbers (this feature is not supported by google prettify, afaik) --DF
