Question

All,

In a html textarea is it possible to hightlight c and cpp syntax.If do please indicated an example code for it.

int main()

Int should be highlighted in this case since it is a keyword.

Answer 1

you would need a scripting language (like PHP or JavaScript) to parse the text in the textarea and surround the keywords with a tag such as word . Then in your css you can add a style for class keyword
