This plug-in adds download facility to 
<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/" rel="ugc">WP-Syntax</a>, putting a 
pretty caption to each syntax highlighted code snippet, which contains 
a permalink anchor and a couple of action buttons: “raw” and 
“download”.
The usage is easy. You just put an attibute <code>filename="..."</code> to 
a <code><pre></code> element and the snippet will have a caption.
I strongly recommend that you use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-valid-elements/" rel="ugc">TinyMCE Valid 
Elements</a> 
plug-in to make the non-standard attributes of the <code><pre></code> element 
treated as valid and get preserved in the visual editor. Configure it 
so that the <code>pre</code> element can have the following attributes:
<ul>
<li><code>class</code></li>
<li><code>dir</code></li>
<li><code>escaped</code></li>
<li><code>filename</code></li>
<li><code>highlight</code></li>
<li><code>id</code></li>
<li><code>lang</code></li>
<li><code>line</code></li>
<li><code>style</code></li>
<li><code>title</code></li>
<li><code>wrap</code></li>
</ul>
You can alter the visual style of captions with CSS via admins menu. 
This plug-in was first developed for PHP 5.2.12 and is currently 
tested only with 5.4. It will never work with PHP 4.

SyntaxHighlighter Evolved

Just what I was looking for.
Thank you guys.

Perfect

I'm a longtime user of syntaxhighlighter evolved, so thanks for the excellent plugin!

The only downside I've recently experienced is the lack of bbPress integration, hence 4 stars rather than 5. If you need this for non-bbPress projects, this is a great choice.

longtime fan, but no bbpress support


It works and show code beautifully on pages, But if you copied that code and want to use it, the it shows errors, Looks like it add some spaces,



I tried it with php shorcode, and when i copied the code from the frontend of the page, It gives Parse error: syntax error, unexpected...


Works, But if you copy code and wan to to use it show error

Easily post syntax-highlighted code to your site without having to modify the code at all. As seen on WordPress.com.
