# Carta Code Plugin
This plugin adds support for code blocks **syntax highlighting**. It uses the same highlighter from the core package(Shiki).
```
npm i @cartamd/plugin-code
```
## Setup
### Styles
Import the default styles:
```ts
import '@cartamd/plugin-code/default.css';
```
### Using the default highlighter
Carta comes with a default highlighter that matches the one used to highlight markdown in the editor and is used by default (Shiki). If you want to use a theme different from the one used to highlight Markdown, you can specify it in the options. Remember to also have it loaded into the highlighter, by specifying it in `shikiOptions`.
```ts
const carta = new Carta({
// ...
extensions: [
code({
theme: 'ayu-light'
})
],
shikiOptions: {
themes: ['ayu-light']
}
});
```
### Using a custom highlighter
It is no longer possible to specify a custom highlighter in this plugin. However, there are many different [Remark plugins](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark/blob/main/doc/plugins.md#list-of-plugins) that provide syntax highlighting.
### Extension
```svelte
<script lang="ts">
import { Carta, MarkdownEditor } from '@thetadev/carta-md';
import { code } from '@cartamd/plugin-code';
const carta = new Carta({
extensions: [code()]
});
</script>
<MarkdownEditor {carta} />
```
