highlightVars

highlightVars

Type: boolean Default: true

Enables click-to-highlight for <var> elements in algorithms. When a reader clicks a variable, all instances of that variable within the same section are highlighted, making it easier to trace variable usage through long algorithms.

Basic usage

var respecConfig = {
  highlightVars: false,
};

Notes

• Variables must be marked up with <var> elements: Let <var>request</var> be a new request.
• Highlighting is scoped to the nearest enclosing .algorithm list or <section> — whichever is closest
• Clicking multiple variables gives each a distinct highlight color (up to 7 colors)
• The |variable| shorthand automatically generates <var> elements
