?> html text <?php

?> </source>
Parameters
Please see the documentation of GeSHi on http://qbnz.com/highlighter/geshi-doc.html for detailed information to use some of the parameters.
- lang; Defines the language

Note
GeSHi is generous about creating HTML elements: highlighting large blocks of code can easily generate enough of them to crash a browser. As a guard, symbol highlighting is turned off for code fragments larger than 100 kB. For fragments larger than 200 kB, string highlighting is turned off as well.
