<p>Syntax Highlight Nano adds beautiful, customizable syntax highlighting to WordPress’s core code block.<br />
It integrates seamlessly with the Gutenberg editor, providing a consistent look and feel between the editor and the frontend.<br />

This plugin is built on top of <strong>highlight.js</strong>, ensuring accurate and performant syntax highlighting for a wide variety of languages.</p>
