Manifests (cluster, application, service, deployed-service-package) are displayed as plain text, making large XML documents hard to read. This adds syntax highlighting using highlight.js.

Changes

  • highlight.js integration — Added highlight.js as a dependency, importing only lib/core + XML language module for minimal bundle size
  • ManifestComponent — Replaced line-by-line <code> rendering with hljs.highlight() output via [innerHtml]. Added error handling that falls back to HTML-escaped plain text
  • Styling — Added vs2015 dark theme CSS globally (matches app's default dark theme), updated component styles for <pre> container
  • License compliance — Added highlight.js (BSD 3-Clause) to ThirdPartyNotices.txt

Before / After

The shared ManifestComponent previously split XML into plain text lines:

// Before
this.manifestLines = this.manifest.split(/\r?\n/).map(line => line + '\n');

// After
this.highlightedManifest = hljs.highlight(this.manifest, { language: 'xml' }).value;
