Description

This plugin is a syntax highlighter for source code. It uses GeSHi as fontifier engine.

Usage

  1. Put the code snippet in a “` tag.
  2. Add the lang attribute to the code tag like the following.
  3. Add the lineno attribute to the tag after the lang tag if you wish to start at a line other than 1.
  4. If you do not add lang attribute, the tag is handled normally.
  5. If you want to have border, add the style like the following to your .css file. code { border: 1px dotted #ccc; padding: 0.2em 0.5em; }
  6. You can use following languages in lang. abap, actionscript, ada, apache, applescript, asm, asp, autoit, bash, blitzbasic, bnf, c, c_mac, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm, cpp-qt, cpp, csharp, css-gen, css, d, delphi, diff, div, dos, dot, eiffel, fortran, freebasic, genero, gml, groovy, haskell, html4strict, idl, ini, inno, io, java, java5, javascript, latex, lisp, lua, m68k, matlab, mirc, mpasm, mysql, nsis, objc, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle8, pascal, per, perl, php-brief, php, plsql, python, qbasic, rails, reg, robots, ruby, sas, scheme, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty, sql, tcl, text, thinbasic, tsql, vb, vbnet, vhdl, visualfoxpro, winbatch, xml, xpp, z80

Note: Version 1.9 adds support for tags, however to ensure backwards compatibility support for the

 tag will not be removed.

Known issues

  1. Because this plugin uses regular expression to match string range from to “`, you can’t use in your code snippet. If you must put the tag, you can put a space between < and /code> like < /code>. The < /code> is converted to automatically by plugin.
  2. If you want to change the style, you should modify the plugin source file. 😛

Installation

  1. Unzip the plugin archive.
  2. Upload the directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
