Example:

<rich:insert src="/pages/sourcePage.xhtml" highlight="xhtml"/>
...

import org.richfaces.ui.component.html.HtmlInsert;
...
HtmlInsert myInsert = new HtmlInsert();
...
The are two basic attributes. The "src" attribute defines the path to the file with source code. The "highlight" attribute defines the type of a syntax highlighting.
If "highlight" attribute is defined and JHighlight open source library is in the classpath, the text from the file is formated and colorized.
An example is placed below.
Example:
...
<rich:insert src="/pages/sourcePage.xhtml" highlight="xhtml"/>
...
The result of using <rich:insert> component is shown on the picture:
The <rich:insert> component provides the same functionality as JHighlight. Thus, all names of highlight style classes for source code of particular language could be changed to your names, which are used by the JHighlight library.
<rich:insert> has no skin parameters and custom style classes, as the component doesn't have own visual representation.
