Plugin Usage

Wrap your code in [sourcecode] tags like so:
[sourcecode language=”fortran”]
your code here
[/sourcecode]
Or wrap your code in [fortran] tags like so:
[fortran]
your code here
[/fortran]

The shortcodes accept a wide variety of parameters. For details, see the bottom of the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved’s settings page.

The code is just being displayed raw. It isn’t being converted into a code box or anything. What’s wrong?

Make sure your theme’s footer.php file has <?php wp_footer(); ?> somewhere inside of it, otherwise the plugin won’t work.
