Supported Languages

These are the languages known by GeSHi that can be used in the lang parameter.

Configuration

Css

This method requires r52346 or higher of this extension.

Add to MediaWiki:Geshi.css, MediaWiki:Monobook.css or MediaWiki:Common.css pages:

div.mw-geshi {
  padding: 1em; 
  margin: 1em 0; 
  border: 1px dashed #2f6fab;
  background-color: #f9f9f9;
}

This will give all GeSHi output (except for enclose="none") a dashed border almost identical to <pre> in monobook/main.css
