@docvia/plugin-shiki

Build-time syntax highlighting for docvia, powered by Shiki.

It registers as a docvia plugin. During compilation its beforeRender hook walks the document IR, highlights every fenced code block, and embeds the resulting HTML on the node. Because highlighting happens at build time, no syntax highlighter ships to the runtime or edge bundle — the renderer just emits the pre-highlighted markup.

// docvia.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "@docvia/cli";
import { shiki } from "@docvia/plugin-shiki";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [shiki({ theme: "github-dark" })],
});

Highlighting is pluggable: any highlighter can be wired the same way (a docvia plugin whose beforeRender populates props.html on code-block nodes), so projects that need a smaller footprint can swap Shiki for a lighter library.
