SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Creates reliable, dependency-free syntax-highlighted code blocks with gutters, copy, and accurate multi-click line selection—while preserving byte-exact source fidelity for copy/paste.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency-free tokenizer + integrity probe: highlights only when rendered text round-trips byte-exact to the original source; otherwise falls back to plain escaped text.
  • Interactive code chrome: builds a per-line gutter, copy-to-clipboard button, wrap-marker stripe, and selection model from semantic HTML only.
  • Theme-safe token palette: uses a 12-role token palette with mandatory light/dark mirrors and selection-yield rules so tokens remain readable when selected.
  • Language resolution contract: supports a fixed alias map and deliberate fail-soft behavior (no guessing; unknown language => plain).

Quick Start

Render a code block by writing plain semantic HTML, declaring the language once (class="language-<id>" or data-ve-lang="<id>"), and letting the runtime tokenizer generate the gutter, copy button, tokens, and selection behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I render syntax-highlighted code blocks that stay byte-exact when copied?

To render syntax-highlighted code blocks with byte-exact copy fidelity, use a dependency-free tokenizer that converts semantic HTML into token spans and runs an integrity probe verifying the rendered text round-trips to the original source, falling back to escaped plain text if the probe fails.

What is an integrity probe in syntax highlighting and why is it needed?

An integrity probe in syntax highlighting verifies that rendered tokenized text round-trips byte-exact to the original source code, preventing silent data corruption during copy and selection so users always paste exactly what was authored.

How do I add interactive code selection and clipboard copy to semantic HTML?

Add interactive code selection and clipboard copy to semantic HTML by declaring the language once via a class or data attribute, letting the runtime tokenizer automatically generate the per-line gutter, copy-to-clipboard button, and selection model from the markup.

Does this syntax highlighting tokenizer work without external dependencies?

Yes, this syntax highlighting tokenizer works entirely dependency-free by building interactive code chrome features including gutters, copy buttons, and selection models directly from semantic HTML without requiring external libraries or frameworks.

What happens when syntax highlighting encounters an unknown programming language?

When syntax highlighting encounters an unknown programming language, it applies deliberate fail-soft behavior by falling back to escaped plain text rather than guessing, ensuring the code remains readable and byte-exact without incorrect tokenization.

How do theme-safe token palettes keep highlighted code readable when selected?

Theme-safe token palettes keep highlighted code readable when selected by using a 12-role token palette with mandatory light and dark mirrors alongside selection-yield CSS rules, ensuring tokens maintain visual contrast and legibility across themes and active selection states.
