zeaks

A simple code snippet plugin for anyone who wants to post any type of code on their site. It’s what I’ve used on Zeaks.org for a while, and highly based off of Danny Van Kooten’s Simple Quote Code Snippets plugin. It’s lightweight, uses no JavaScript, comes with 4 editable color schemes and very easy to use.
Note Does not highlight code, simply displays it in a nice way and allows posting of any code.
Use [code] Your Code [/code] in any post.

Zeaks Snippets

CodeColorer lets you insert syntax-highlighted code snippets into posts, comments, and feeds.
CodeColorer currently bundles GeSHi 1.0.9.0 from the upstream 1.0.x line, with a small set of project-local maintenance patches for current PHP and WordPress compatibility.
Plugin based on GeSHi library, which supports most languages. CodeColorer has various nice features:
<ul>
<li>syntax highlighting in RSS feeds</li>
<li>syntax highlighting of a single line of code (inline)</li>
<li>syntax highlighting of code in comments</li>
<li>line numbers</li>
<li>automatic links to the documentation inserting</li>
<li>code block intelligent scroll detection (short code would have a short block, for a long one the block height would be fixed and a scrollbar would appear)</li>
<li>predefined color themes (Slush & Poppies, Blackboard, Dawn, Mac Classic, Twitlight, Vibrant Ink, Railscasts, Solarized Light, Solarized Dark)</li>
<li>syntax colors customization in CSS file</li>
<li>code protect from mangling by WordPress (for example, quotes, double-dashes, and others would look just right as you entered)</li>
</ul>

<h3>Customization</h3>
Syntax coloring is highly customizable: you could change the color scheme for all languages or a specific language. You could find CodeColorer CSS in wp-content/plugins/codecolorer/codecolorer.css file. To change colors for all languages edit lines below Color scheme section.
There is a simple mapping between TextMate color themes and CodeColorer ones:
<pre><code>/* "Slush & Poppies" color scheme (default) */
.codecolorer-container, .codecolorer { color: #000000; background-color: #F1F1F1; }
/* Comment */
.codecolorer .co0, .codecolorer .co1, .codecolorer .co2, .codecolorer .co3, .codecolorer .co4, .codecolorer .coMULTI { color: #406040; font-style: italic; }
/* Constant */
.codecolorer .nu0, .codecolorer .re3 { color: #0080A0; }
/* String */
.codecolorer .st0, .codecolorer .st_h, .codecolorer .es0, .codecolorer .es1 { color: #C03030; }
/* Entity */
.codecolorer .me1, .codecolorer .me2 { color: #0080FF; }
/* Keyword */
.codecolorer .kw1, .codecolorer .kw2, .codecolorer .sy1 { color: #2060A0; }
/* Storage */
.codecolorer .kw3, .codecolorer .kw4, .codecolorer .kw5, .codecolorer .re2 { color: #008080; }
/* Variable */
.codecolorer .re0, .codecolorer .re1 { color: #A08000; }
/* Global color */
.codecolorer .br0, .codecolorer .sy0 { color: #000000; }
</code></pre>
