README

Phiki is a syntax highlighter written in PHP. It uses TextMate grammar files and Visual Studio Code themes to generate syntax highlighted code for the web.

The name and public API of Phiki is heavily inspired by Shiki, a package that does more or less the same thing in the JavaScript ecosystem. The actual implementation of the package is also heavily inspired by vscode-textmate which is the powerhouse of a package behind Visual Studio Code, Shiki, and others.

Installation

Install Phiki via Composer:

composer require phiki/phiki
