+This extension allows source code to be syntax highlighted on the wiki pages.
+This README file might be out of date, have a look at the extension page
+for updated informations:
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
+
+== Requirements ==
+
+This version of the extension has been tested with Pygments 1.6, 2.0.2 and
+MediaWiki 1.25 as of 2015-06-19. To get releases of this extension compatible
+with earlier versions of MediaWiki, visit:
+
+ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:ExtensionDistributor/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi
+
+== Installation ==
+
+First, you will need to ensure that this extension's Composer-managed
+dependencies are available. In the extension directory, run 'composer update'.
+
+Next, Add this line to your LocalSettings.php:
+
+ wfLoadExtension( 'SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi' );
+
+By default, this extension will use a bundled copy of Pygments 2.0.2. If you
+would like to use a different copy of the library, you can set
+$wgPygmentizePath to point to the path to the 'pygmentize' binary.
+
+== Usage ==
+
+On the wiki page, you can now use "source" elements:
+
+<source lang="php">
+<?php
+ v = "string"; // sample initialization
+?>
+html text
+<?php
+ echo v; // end of php code
+?>
+</source>
+
+== Parameters ==
+
+For details information of these parameters, see the documentation of Pygments'
+HtmlFormatter at <http://pygments.org/docs/formatters/#HtmlFormatter>.
+
+* lang; Defines the language.
+* line; Corresponds to linenos="inline" option.
+* start; Corresponds to linenostart opion.
+* enclose; If set to "none", corresponds to the nowrap=1 option.
+* inline; Corresponds to the nowrap=1 option.
+* highlight; Corresponds to hl_lines option (comma separated).
+
+== Note ==
+
+Pygments is generous about creating HTML elements: highlighting large blocks of
+code can easily generate enough of them to crash a browser. As a guard, syntax
+highlighting is turned off for code fragments larger than 100 kB.
