<p>WP-Markdown-SyntaxHighlighter is intended to work with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-markdown/" rel="ugc">wp-markdown</a> and <a href="http://www.viper007bond.com/wordpress-plugins/syntaxhighlighter/" rel="nofollow ugc">SyntaxHighlighter Evolved</a> plugins as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>WP-Markdown can automatically use <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prettify.js</a> to format code, but if you prefer <a href="http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/" rel="nofollow ugc">Alex Gorbatchev’s SyntaxHighlighter</a>, this plugin will re-format the Markdown-formatted code blocks to be properly styled by SyntaxHighlighter directly or SyntaxHighlighter Evolved via plugin.</li>
<li>SyntaxHighlighter Evolved uses SyntaxHighlighter and additional extended functionality to display code blocks in an easily readable manner.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are two methods of use:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add a <code>#!</code> line to your code example and specify the language (brush) only</li>
<li>Add a <code>#!!</code> line to your code example and specify any/all supported parameters via a JSON object</li>
</ol>
<h4>Simple Method</h4>
<p>To use, add a <code>#!</code> line 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 <code>#!</code> is removed, and the code is reformatted as:</p>
<pre><code><pre class="brush:ruby; notranslate" title="">class One < Two
  def hello
    puts "Hello World!"
  end
end</pre>
</code></pre>
<h4>Full Method</h4>
<p>To use, add a <code>#!!</code> line as the first line of your code example, with any of the supported SyntaxHighlighter parameters as a JSON object</p>
<pre><code>#!!{"brush":"ruby","toolbar":"true","highlight":"[2,3,4]"}
class Foo < Bar
  def hello
    puts "Hello World!"
  end
end
</code></pre>
<p>The <code>#!!</code> is removed, and the parameters are interpreted into a CSS class string as:</p>
<pre><code><pre class="brush: ruby; toolbar: true; highlight: [2,3,4]; notranslate">class Foo < Bar
  def hello
    puts "Hello World!"
  end
end</pre>
</code></pre>
<h3>TODO</h3>
<ul>
<li>Consider adding support to toggle ‘notranslate’</li>
</ul>
