> **Note**
> No need to install it if you are not using (or will not use) `gist`, `youtube`, `jsfiddle`, `vimeo` tags in your post or page.

```sh
$ npm i hexo-tag-embed
```

###### Syntax highlighting

> **WARNING**
> Syntax highlighting is refactored and controlled by the following settings. See [Syntax Highlighting](https://hexo.io/docs/syntax-highlight#Configuration) for more details.

```yaml
syntax_highlighter: highlight.js # highlight.js | prismjs | <empty>
```

##### Migration Guide

Some of the built-in tags have been dropped (E.g. `gist`, `youtube`, `jsfiddle`, and `vimeo`). If you use those tags in your existing blog posts, you can install [hexo-tag-embed](https://github.com/hexojs/hexo-tag-embed) to continue using them with Hexo 7.0.0.

> **Note**
