<p>WP Markdown Syntax Sugar work in conjunction with plugins such as <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-markdown/" rel="ugc">wp-markdown</a><br />
and <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-highlightjs/" rel="ugc">wp-highlight.js</a>. Markdown is fantastic markup for easily<br />
writing blogs, and <a href="http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/" rel="nofollow ugc">highlight.js</a> is an extremely easy way to highlight<br />
code examples. In most cases, highlight.js automatically detects the proper language for a block of code. In certain<br />
cases, primarily if your code example is short, highlight.js could improperly detect the language that you are using;<br />
that is where this plugin comes into play. By adding one line to your code blocks, you can explicitly set the language<br />
that you are using, allowing highlight.js to properly format your code.</p>
<p>The concept is inspired by the <a href="https://github.com/spjwebster/wp-markdown-syntax-highlight" rel="nofollow ugc">wp-markdown-syntax-highlight</a><br />
plugin.</p>
<p>The usage is extremely simple. Just add a shebang as the first line of your code example with the language you are using.</p>
<pre><code>#!ruby
class Foo < Bar
  def hello
    puts "Hello World!"
  end
end
</code></pre>
<p>The shebang is removed, and the code is outputted as:</p>
<pre><code><pre><code class="language-ruby">class Foo < Bar
  def hello
    puts "Hello World!"
  end
end</code></pre>
</code></pre>
<p>Now the code block is properly formatted for highlight.js to do its magic, and the code snippet will be properly<br />
highlighted.</p>
