#Code Blocks

Zolt supports code blocks with syntax highlighting for technical documentation.

#Basic Code Blocks

Create code blocks using triple backticks:

```javascript
function hello() {
    console.log("Hello, World!");
}
```

function hello() {
    console.log("Hello, World!");
}

#Language Support

Zolt uses Shiki for high-quality syntax highlighting. You can specify the language after the opening backticks.

A full list of the hundreds of supported languages can be found here: Shiki Supported Languages

Example syntax:

• ```typescript
• ```javascript
• ```python
• ```bash

#Code Block Attributes

Apply attributes to code blocks:

```python {title="main.py"}
def hello():
    print("Hello, World!")
```

def hello():
    print("Hello, World!")

#Available Attributes

#Example with Highlighting

```javascript {highlight=2-4}
function processData(data) {
    const result = data.map(item => item.value);  // Highlighted
                                                  // Highlighted
    return result.filter(x => x > 0);             // Highlighted
}
```

function processData(data) {
    const result = data.map(item => item.value);  // Highlighted
                                                  // Highlighted
    return result.filter(x => x > 0);             // Highlighted
}

#Multiple Line Ranges

You can combine specific lines and ranges using commas:

```typescript {highlight="1,3-5"}
import { Parser } from './parser';

// The following lines are part of a range
const parser = new Parser();
const tokens = parser.tokenize(input);
const ast = parser.parse(tokens);

return ast;
```

import { Parser } from './parser';

// The following lines are part of a range
const parser = new Parser();
const tokens = parser.tokenize(input);
const ast = parser.parse(tokens);

return ast;

#Example with Line Numbers

```python {start=10}
def calculate(a, b):
    # This function adds two numbers
    return a + b
```

def calculate(a, b):
    # This function adds two numbers
    return a + b

#Inline Code

Use single backticks for inline code:

Use the `print()` function to output text.

The `$variable` syntax is used for variables.

#Best Practices

1. Specify language for proper syntax highlighting
2. Use titles for code block identification
3. Highlight key lines for emphasis
4. Use inline code for short snippets
