Syntax Highlighting in WordPress
Some of my most recent posts involving code have displayed the wonderful blocks of login in all its syntax highlighted glory. A week ago I stumbled on the sweet syntax highlighting plugin - iG:Syntax Highligher (here's the link to the actual plugin).
The highlighter uses GeSHi for the highlighting engine then wraps a bunch of sweet javascript functions around it to give it a bunch of features (i.e. viewing as syntax highlighted code or plain text toggle). Here's the supported language list:
-
[as] & [/as]
-
[asp] & [/asp]
-
[c] & [/c]
-
[cpp] & [/cpp]
-
[csharp] & [/csharp]
-
[css] & [/css]
-
[delphi] & [/delphi]
-
[html] & [/html]
-
[java] & [/java]
-
[js] & [/js]
-
[mysql] & [/mysql]
-
[perl] & [/perl]
-
[php] & [/php]
-
[python] & [/python]
-
[ruby] & [/ruby]
-
[smarty] & [/smarty]
-
[sql] & [/sql]
-
[vb] & [/vb]
-
[vbnet] & [/vbnet]
-
[xml] & [/xml]
Installation is super easy and simply requires you to edit the quicktags.js file in wp-admin. If you're looking for a syntax highlighter for your blog, I'd suggest you give this one a try. w00t.

only one note: in my first WP (2.1) installation it didn’t go well (You need to be a Level 8(or above) … etc);
I inserted manually in the table “wp_users” a row called “user_level” (integer [2], unsigned, defalt 0) and after I assigned “10″ to user “admin” … now it is perfect!!!

You are not required to change the quicktags.js file. its required only if you want to have Quicktag buttons for the codes in your editor, othewise not. Its entirely an optional step! :)
