<para>When this parameter is non-zero, the stylesheets will try to do syntax highlighting of the 
content of <tag>programlisting</tag> elements. You specify the language for each programlisting 
by using the <tag class="attribute">language</tag> attribute. The <parameter>highlight.default.language</parameter> 
parameter can be used to specify the language for programlistings without a <tag class="attribute">language</tag> 
attribute. Syntax highlighting also works for <tag>screen</tag> and <tag>synopsis</tag> elements.</para>

<para>The actual highlighting work is done by the XSLTHL extension module. This is an external Java library that has to be 
downloaded separately (see below).</para>

<para>In order to use this extension, you must</para> 

<listitem><para>add <filename>xslthl-2.x.x.jar</filename> to your Java classpath. The latest version is available
from <link xlink:href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xslthl">the XSLT syntax highlighting project</link> 
at SourceForge.</para>

<parameter>highlight.xslthl.config</parameter> parameter point to the configuration file for syntax

<para>The extension works with Saxon 6.5.x and Xalan-J. (Saxon 8.5 or later is also supported, but since it is 
an XSLT 2.0 processor it is not guaranteed to work with DocBook XSL in all circumstances.)</para>

<para>The following is an example of a Saxon 6 command adapted for syntax highlighting, to be used on Windows:</para>

<informalexample>
<para><command>java -cp c:/Java/saxon.jar;c:/Java/xslthl-2.0.1.jar 
-Dxslthl.config=file:///c:/docbook-xsl/highlighting/xslthl-config.xml com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet 
-o test.html test.xml myhtml.xsl</command></para>
