SyntaxHighlighter - Display Code Nicely

August 20, 2008 | under Misc | 4 Responses

Displaying code on a blog or website can be a frustrating task. Simply enclosing our code within PRE tags can sometimes cause more problems than it solves. What you need is an attractive way to display code that’s powerful enough to be used by tutorial giants like Nettuts, and easy enough to be installed on a personal blog. May I present SyntaxHighlighter.

SyntaxHighlighter is a completely javascript based code display engine that prettifies your code.

SyntaxHighlighter color-coordinates your code and allows you to view it in plain text, copy to clipboard, or print. It displays all your major (and some minor) languages such as: XML/HTML, Ruby, PHP, SQL, C++, Java, CSS, Python, and a few more.

Sine the whole world doesn’t use Wordpress, (Yet…) the download link below grabs the universal version of SyntaxHighlighter. If you want to use this for your Wordpress blog, then be sure to grab the plugin by going here.
