Editable Code Highligter using prism.min.js

mixanikos365











This is an example of a syntax-highlighted textarea. The textarea, almost completely transparent except for the caret-color, is positioned on top of the syntax-highlighted block using z-indexes, and the result is synchronised whenever the user enters code.

I have covered this technique in an article for CSS-Tricks, and have further edited it to include suggestions from comments.

One comment suggested creating a custom element for editable syntax-highlighted code, and I thought that was a very good idea, so you can find the custom element demo I created here.
