On my website, I want to display code blocks similar to how StackOverflow does it. The code block should be properly colored, formatted, and spaced out for better readability. All the code blocks on my site will be in python.
def func(A):
result = 0
n = len(A)
while n > 1:
n = n/2
result = result + min(A[1,...,n])
return result
The font style, background color, and spacing can be easily customized by defining a specific CSS class where the background is grey, the font is set to monospace, and appropriate spacing is applied.
My main concern is how to apply colors to different parts of the code. I assume that JavaScript can be used to loop through each word in the code block and map them to specific colors based on a predefined list of keywords or patterns.
If there are any incorrect assumptions or potential challenges in my approach, please let me know.
