As you might have noticed, I’m using jQuery.Syntax as my Syntax Highlighting engine. As I recently started writing PowerShell scripts, I wanted syntax hightlighting for it.

Since I knew, someone already wrote syntax highlighting for GeSHi for PowerShell (I am lazy after all!), I simply took the color scheme (shame on me), and made hacked ahead. After about three hours (yeah, I had some trouble with editing the wrong damn file), I came up with this:

Syntax.register('powershell', function(brush) {
	// PowerShell Cmdlets
	var cmdlets = [ "Add-Content", "Add-History", "Add-Member", "Add-PSSnapin", "Clear-Content", "Clear-Item", "Clear-ItemProperty", "Clear-Variable", "Compare-Object", "ConvertFrom-SecureString", "Convert-Path", "ConvertTo-Html", "ConvertTo-SecureString", "Copy-Item", "Copy-ItemProperty", "Export-Alias", "Export-Clixml", "Export-Console", "Export-Csv", "ForEach-Object", "Format-Custom", "Format-List", "Format-Table", "Format-Wide", "Get-Acl", "Get-Alias", "Get-AuthenticodeSignature", "Get-ChildItem", "Get-Command", "Get-Content", "Get-Credential", "Get-Culture", "Get-Date", "Get-EventLog", "Get-ExecutionPolicy", "Get-Help", "Get-History", "Get-Host", "Get-Item", "Get-ItemProperty", "Get-Location", "Get-Member", "Get-PfxCertificate", "Get-Process", "Get-PSDrive", "Get-PSProvider", "Get-PSSnapin", "Get-Service", "Get-TraceSource", "Get-UICulture", "Get-Unique", "Get-Variable", "Get-WmiObject", "Group-Object", "Import-Alias", "Import-Clixml", "Import-Csv", "Invoke-Expression", "Invoke-History", "Invoke-Item", "Join-Path", "Measure-Command", "Measure-Object", "Move-Item", "Move-ItemProperty", "New-Alias", "New-Item", "New-ItemProperty", "New-Object", "New-PSDrive", "New-Service", "New-TimeSpan", "New-Variable", "Out-Default", "Out-File", "Out-Host", "Out-Null", "Out-Printer", "Out-String", "Pop-Location", "Push-Location", "Read-Host", "Remove-Item", "Remove-ItemProperty", "Remove-PSDrive", "Remove-PSSnapin", "Remove-Variable", "Rename-Item", "Rename-ItemProperty", "Resolve-Path", "Restart-Service", "Resume-Service", "Select-Object", "Select-String", "Set-Acl", "Set-Alias", "Set-AuthenticodeSignature", "Set-Content", "Set-Date", "Set-ExecutionPolicy", "Set-Item", "Set-ItemProperty", "Set-Location", "Set-PSDebug", "Set-Service", "Set-TraceSource", "Set-Variable", "Sort-Object", "Split-Path", "Start-Service", "Start-Sleep", "Start-Transcript", "Stop-Process", "Stop-Service", "Stop-Transcript", "Suspend-Service", "Tee-Object", "Test-Path", "Trace-Command", "Update-FormatData", "Update-TypeData", "Where-Object", "Write-Debug", "Write-Error", "Write-Host", "Write-Output", "Write-Progress", "Write-Verbose", "Write-Warning" ];

You’ll also need the fitting cascading style sheet for this:

.syntax .powershell .cmdlet, .syntax .powershell .alias {
	color: #008080;
	font-weight: bold; }

.syntax .powershell .symbol {
	color: pink; }

.syntax .powershell .variable {
	color: #800080;
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: bold; }

.syntax .powershell .constant {
	color: #ff3333; }

.syntax .powershell .keyword {
	color: #0000FF; }

.syntax .powershell .operator {
	color: #FF0000; }

.syntax .powershell .option {
	color: #008080;
	font-style: italic; }

.syntax .powershell .comment {
	color: #008000;
	font-style: normal; }

.syntax .powershell .string {
	color: #800000; }

.syntax .powershell .number {
	color: #000000; }

.syntax .powershell .cmdlet, .syntax .powershell .alias {

color: #008080;

font-weight: bold; }

.syntax .powershell .symbol {

color: pink; }

.syntax .powershell .variable {

color: #800080;

font-style: normal;

font-weight: bold; }

.syntax .powershell .constant {

color: #ff3333; }

.syntax .powershell .keyword {

color: #0000FF; }

.syntax .powershell .operator {

color: #FF0000; }

.syntax .powershell .option {

color: #008080;

font-style: italic; }

.syntax .powershell .comment {

color: #008000;

font-style: normal; }

.syntax .powershell .string {

color: #800000; }

.syntax .powershell .number {

color: #000000; }

I was also trying to create an “addon language” for PowerShell, PowerCLI. But that didn’t work right and I guess I’ll have to talk to the guy writing jQuery.Syntax on how to properly use Syntax.brushes.dependency.
