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: syntax highlighting in RSS feeds syntax highlighting of a single line of code (inline) syntax highlighting of code in comments line numbers automatic links to the documentation inserting 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) predefined color themes (Slush & Poppies, Blackboard, Dawn, Mac Classic, Twitlight, Vibrant Ink, Railscasts, Solarized Light, Solarized Dark) syntax colors customization in CSS file code protect from mangling by WordPress (for example, quotes, double-dashes, and others would look just right as you entered) Support If you have any suggestions, found a bug, wanted to contribute a translation to your language, or just wanted to say “thank you”, feel free to email me kpumuk@kpumuk.info.
