Methods

backgroundFor(String? language) → Color?

The background color to use for language's code block, or null to keep the ambient surface color.

baseStyleFor(String? language, TextStyle fallback) → TextStyle

The base style for language's code, derived from fallback (the code block's monospace style). Used to apply the theme's default foreground so untokenized code stays legible on the theme background.

highlight(String code, String? language, TextStyle baseStyle) → List<InlineSpan>

Returns the spans for code, tagged for language. Implementations must preserve text exactly: the concatenation of the returned spans' text must equal code, so selection and copy stay aligned. baseStyle is the code block's base (monospace) style, already applied to the enclosing span.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.

inherited

toString() → String

A string representation of this object.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool

The equality operator.
