Show off your beautiful code, don’t just display it! This block plugin provides you with a code editor that runs your code directly through the same rendering engine that is used by the popular VS Code editor. This block provides fast, native, code highlighting that renders perfectly in your favorite programming language using popular VS Code themes.

Beautiful syntax highlighting that makes sense.

To use, navigate to the default WordPress editor, and search for “Code Pro” or start typing “/code”.

Visit code-block-pro.com for a lifetime deal on the theme pack (this is a cosmetic-only upgrade).

Tips

Try combining line highlighting with the blur effect to add some extra depth, and focus on the important parts of the code without losing context
All settings are per block, but some settings are remembered when you add the next block
Add a link in the code footer (some footers support this, not all) that points to a demo
To achieve a flush look, remove padding under Extra Settings and select a theme with a background color matching your site theme

\nFont size is too small/big\n\n

Look under the “Styling” tab and turn on “Clamp Values”, which will compute the rem values relative to a 16px-24px base * the selected rem values. e.g. clamp(20px, 1.25rem, 30px).

\nHow to use in headless\n\n

Themes are rendered inside the editor as you type or make changes, so the code block itself will work without CSS or JavaScript. However, the font loading, copy button, and line highlighting require a tiny bit of JavaScript to function. Additionally, line blur uses a tiny bit of CSS which you will need to load in yourself or implement your own. The code tokens and theme styles are inline though, so no need to manipulate the DOM.

I was skeptical because every syntax highlighter I've ever toyed with were clunky – as someone who's passionate about online documentation I've toyed with A LOT of syntax highlighters. \n\n\n\nThis is the best option I've ever exeperienced. Hands down. Really good settings, everything updates seamlessly, it's not bloated or cluncky, it just works and fits into the content area perfectly just like it should. \n\n\n\nSo glad I found it.

At first, I just wanted to find a plugin to help extend the default Gutenberg code block. But when I tried your plugin, I accepted using a non-default Gutenberg block.What I worry about the most is that if one day you no longer maintain it and the plugin is accidentally incompatible with the new version of WordPress, it will be miserable for people like me who like to share code.So I hope you never abandon it.Thank you very much.\n","rating":0.25,"created":{"timestamp":1744416000,"timezone":"UTC"}},{"reviewer":"Ankit Panchal","title":"Simple, Powerful, and Super Useful","content":"This plugin does exactly what you'd hope, clean syntax highlighting, easy to use, and packed with thoughtful features.

But I'm compelled to do so for this one. There's no bloat. No notices in the admin panel, no upselling, no ads, no nagging to upgrade to pro, nothing at all. Goes to show the author values and respects their users and not just see them as walking talking wallet. This is how all plugins should be. \n\n\n\nBut that doesn't mean the plugin is devoid of features. It has everything you would want from a syntax highlighter plugin and more. The code looks beautiful and it's fast. Did I mention, there's no bloat. What a breath of fresh air.\n","rating":0.25,"created":{"timestamp":1754956800,"timezone":"UTC"}},{"reviewer":"afonsolpjr","title":"Simple and beautiful looking","content":"\nLeaving a 5 star for the simplicity.
