The extension works with TYPO3 v9 and v10.

  2. Get it from the Extension Manager: Press the Retrieve/Update button in the Extension Manager backend module, search for the extension key codehighlight and import the extension from the repository.
  3. Get it from typo3.org: You can always get the current version from https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/codehighlight/ by downloading the zip file. Upload the file afterwards in the Extension Manager.

Some basic configuration is available which is explained in the Configuration section.
