arborium-docsrs-demo

This crate demonstrates arborium syntax highlighting on docs.rs.

docs.rs highlights Rust code natively, but leaves other languages (TOML, shell, JSON, YAML, SQL, etc.) unhighlighted. This crate uses arborium's IIFE script via --html-in-header to highlight everything else.

How it works

  1. Create arborium-header.html:

    <script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@arborium/arborium@2.12.4/dist/arborium.iife.js"></script>
    
  2. Add to Cargo.toml:

    [package.metadata.docs.rs]
    rustdoc-args = ["--html-in-header", "arborium-header.html"]
    

That's it! The IIFE automatically:

  • Detects code blocks by class="language-*"
  • Skips Rust blocks (they have semantic <a> links from rustdoc)
  • Highlights everything else with tree-sitter grammars
