What Code Highlighter does
Code Highlighter on CodeBeautify transforms raw programming text into color-coded, readable snippets. Users paste their code into a text area and select the language from a dropdown menu; the tool then automatically applies syntax highlighting to keywords, variables, strings, and comments. The formatted output can be viewed on-screen or copied into documentation, making it useful for developers, students, and anyone needing to present code clearly without manual formatting.
