Upstream Output Contracts

Upstream Output Contracts

These are the borrowed ideas that shape the local tests. The goal is not to copy implementation details or exact tokenization. It is to preserve the useful output properties that make mature highlighters practical in docs.

Inspected package tarballs:

PackageVersionBorrowed Contract
prismjs1.30.0CSS-addressable token spans and explicit language-* targeting.
highlight.js11.11.1Stable semantic class names such as keyword, string, comment, tag, property, type, and literal.
sugar-high1.2.1Tiny JS/JSX-first scanner model and CSS-variable-driven token color hooks.
@speed-highlight/core1.2.17Small explicit language modules, fast class-based output, and cheap client-side execution.

Local choices:

  • Use th-* class names instead of adopting another library's class namespace.
  • Emit no inline style attributes.
  • Emit one HTML tree for light and dark themes.
  • Theme through CSS variables from createThemeCss().
  • Use real TanStack docs fixtures for language coverage.
  • Keep the browser bundle budget enforced by pnpm run size.
  • Keep throughput enforced by pnpm run bench.
