## Description

Enlight is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the readability of raw source code displayed in your browser tab. It leverages the powerful highlight.js library (version 11.0.1) to provide syntax highlighting for 196 programming languages and offers 242 color themes to choose from. Users can activate the extension via the toolbar button, select their preferred language syntax or use auto-detect, and customize the display with line numbering options.

With line numbering enabled, navigating large source files becomes easier by appending a line number (e.g., `#l27`) to the URL for quick jumps. Enlight makes reviewing and studying code online more intuitive and visually appealing, supporting developers and learners alike in their coding workflows.
