title: Code Syntax
---
To insert highlight code inside of a post, it's enough to use some specific tags, has directly described into the [Jekyll documentation](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/templates/#code-snippet-highlighting). In this way the code will be included into a ``.highlight`` CSS class and will be highlight according to the [syntax.scss](https://github.com/mojombo/tpw/blob/master/css/syntax.css) file. This is the standard style adopted by **Github** to highlight the code.
This is a CSS example:
{% highlight css linenos %}
body {
background-color: #fff;
}
h1 {
color: #ffaa33;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
{% endhighlight %}
And this is a HTML example, with a linenumber:
{% highlight html linenos %}
<html>
<a href="example.com">Example</a>
</html>
{% endhighlight %}
Last, a Ruby example:
{% highlight ruby linenos %}
def hello
puts "Hello World!"
end
{% endhighlight %}
