<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 />
Because it extends the existing “Code” block, there is no need for a separate custom block or switching between different block types.<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>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic language detection</strong>: Intelligently detects the programming language of your code.</li>
<li><strong>Customizable header</strong>: Optionally display a header above the code block with a filename or language name.</li>
<li><strong>Line numbers</strong>: Toggle line numbers on or off to improve code readability.</li>
<li><strong>Copy to clipboard button</strong>: A convenient button appears on hover, allowing users to copy the code with a single click.</li>
<li><strong>Lightweight and performant</strong>: Uses highlight.js for efficient, optimized syntax highlighting.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress best practices</strong>: Built following WordPress development standards.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to Use</h4>
