rich:insert component allows to insert and, optionally, format the file from the application context into the page. The context relative path to the file is specified with src attribute.

highlight attribute defines the type of a syntax highlighting. If this attribute is specified, inserting text is formated and keywords are colorized using jhighlight open source library. You need to have jhighlight.jar in the classpath to have this feature enabled. The following example shows the groovy code snippet inserted and highlighted:

  // uncomment the next line and it works fine!!
  //println it
}
