| Oct 23, 2014 at 17:28 | comment | added | isagalaev | @JanDvorak there are two demo links within my question (highlightjs.org/static/stackoverflow/so1.html, highlightjs.org/static/stackoverflow/so2.html), they are real-time highlighting with language detection. In normal cases like these the result is pretty much instantaneous. | |

| Oct 23, 2014 at 3:58 | comment | added | isagalaev | Hmm… Actually, I should say that this size comparison is probably wrong as I looked more closely at the prettify.js linked on StackOverflow and I highly doubt it supports all those languages listed. Some of them may be supported simply as "looks close enough". | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 1:41 | comment | added | isagalaev | Here's the numbers. With all the languages listed on meta.stackexchange.com/questions/184108/… highlight.js is 46K, Prettify is 29K (non-gzipped). | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 1:30 | comment | added | isagalaev | The size depends on the languages included in the package. The "common" set of 22 languages is ~35K, the full one may be as big as ~300K but nobody needs that. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 0:29 | comment | added | Braiam | @animuson I count 14,941 bytes for highlight.js, I couldn't figure out Prettify. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 0:28 | comment | added | hichris123 | @animuson In 2011, it was a few KBs smaller than Prettify. Not sure if that's still accurate, though. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 0:14 | comment | added | animuson StaffMod | One of the very important factors they're also going to look at is overall size. How big is the script in comparison to Prettify? | |
