### Browser-specific Option(s)

The following option(s) _only_ function in a browser context:
Browser Mocha supports many, but not all [cli options](#command-line-usage).
To use a [cli option](#command-line-usage) that contains a "-", please convert the option to camel-case, (eg. `check-leaks` to `checkLeaks`).

`noHighlighting`: If set to `true`, do not attempt to use syntax highlighting on output test code.
#### Options that differ slightly from [cli options](#command-line-usage):

`reporter` _{string|constructor}_
You can pass a reporter's name or a custom reporter's constructor. You can find **recommended** reporters for the browser [here](#reporting). It is possible to use [built-in reporters](#reporters) as well. Their employment in browsers is neither recommended nor supported, open the console to see the test results.

#### Options that _only_ function in browser context:

`noHighlighting` _{boolean}_
If set to `true`, do not attempt to use syntax highlighting on output test code.

### Reporting

The "HTML" reporter is what you see when running Mocha in the browser. It looks like this:
The "html" reporter is the default reporter when running Mocha in the browser. It looks like this:
