Code Highlighting in Canvas

Although Canvas at WSE does not support native code highlighting tools or plugins, you can still display formatted code by using an external code-to-HTML converter. This allows you to add visually enhanced code blocks in a variety of programming languages directly into your Canvas pages.

How to Add Code to Canvas Using HTML

1. Convert Your Code
   Use a code-to-HTML converter to transform your code snippet into HTML. There are many free tools online that support syntax highlighting for various programming languages.
2. Open the Canvas Page
   Log in to Canvas and navigate to the page where you want to add your formatted code. Click Edit to modify the content.
3. Access the HTML Editor
   In the rich content editor, click the </> icon to switch to the HTML editor.
   
4. Paste the HTML
   Paste the converted HTML code into the HTML editor. Click Save (or Save & Publish) to update the page.
   

Once saved, your code block should appear with proper formatting and syntax highlighting, giving it a cleaner and more readable look.
