A PHP and jQuery syntax highlighter supporting many languages, themes, fonts, and highlighting from URLs, local files, or post text. It is primarily a WordPress plugin but can be used in any PHP environment.
Use cases
- display code snippets with syntax highlighting in WordPress posts
- highlight code loaded from a URL or local file
- customize language definitions with regular expressions
- mix HTML, CSS, and PHP highlighting in one block
- add a tag editor dialog for inserting code blocks
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy WordPress site already using it
- you need a self-hosted PHP syntax highlighter with customizable language definitions
When to avoid
- starting a new project - it was closed on WordPress.org in 2022 due to a security issue
- running modern WordPress versions - it throws PHP errors and breaks content
- you need maintained, secure software
