# deft/syntax-highlight Tokenize a Deft source string and return highlighted HTML wrapped as `%__HtmlSafe{:value "<spans>"}`. Each token whose type has a class is wrapped in `<span class="<tailwind-class>">…</span>`; lex failures fall back to plain HTML-escaped text. ## Syntax

[deft/syntax-highlight $source]

## Parameters - `$source` — Deft source text (string) ## Examples

[type [deft/syntax-highlight "set x 42"]]    # → __HtmlSafe
[get [deft/syntax-highlight "set x 42"] :value]
# → "<span class=\"text-cyan-400\">set</span> x <span class=\"text-amber-400\">42</span>"

## Returns `%__HtmlSafe{ :value "<html>" }`; the value is HTML-escaped (`& < > " '`) and every token is emitted, so it round-trips as rendered source. Classes: keywords/builtins `text-cyan-400`, variables `text-purple-400`, numbers/booleans/nil `text-amber-400`, strings and keywords `text-green-400`, comments `text-zinc-500`. Interpolated block openers/closers (`[html …`, `\html]`, `[*codeblock …`) and shell-exec spans (`[| … ]`) are re-emitted verbatim. ## See Also `deft/parse`, `deft/parse-forms`, `deft/stringify`, `codeblock`, `html`
