A few introductory remarks

Be aware. This is work in progress.

SecureInclude is basically the original Include Extension fixed up to do Syntaxhighlighting again and some more. <include> should be stable while the new tags <shell>, <php> are experimental for now. Be patient.

The steps to enable SyntaxHighlighting differ slightly now.

Step 1.

install SyntaxHighlighting as described in Extension:SyntaxHighlight#Installation

Step 2.

add <include> tag using <syntaxhighlight> attributes (as documented on Extension:SyntaxHighlight#Parameters) eg.

<include src="./tmp/duply.sh" lang="bash" line nocache nopre/>

Documentation

The best documentation for now is in the header of secure-include.php.

Installation

• https://github.com/edeso/SecureInclude/archive/master.zip and place the file(s) in a directory called SecureInclude in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
