THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED, SINCE ELEMENTOR NOW HAS A SYNTAX HIGHLIGHT WIDGET OF ITS OWN.
This Elementor widget allows you to add syntax highlighted code snippets to your content.
The syntax highlighter is implemented using <a href="https://prismjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">PrismJS</a>.
To use drag the “Highlighted Code” widget from the “Basic” section of the Elementor sidebar onto you post. Then select the language you will be using and fill in the code in the sidebar. You’ll see a preview of what things will look like in the main content panel.
