===Highlighting Lua code=== |
|||
* Lua code can be highlighted using tags <source> or <syntaxhighlight> with attrribute {{code|1=lang="lua"}}: |
|||
<pre> |
|||
<source lang="lua"> |
|||
--code snippet |
|||
function p.main() |
|||
return "Hello world" |
|||
end |
|||
</source> |
|||
</pre> |
|||
''or'' |
|||
<pre> |
|||
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> |
|||
--code snippet |
|||
function p.main() |
|||
return "Hello world" |
|||
end |
|||
</syntaxhighlight> |
|||
</pre> |
|||
Produces: |
|||
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> |
|||
--code snippet |
|||
function p.main() |
|||
return "Hello world" |
|||
end |

</syntaxhighlight> |
