Plugin Usage
Just wrap your code in
code here
. The language attribute is required! See the plugin’s description for a list of valid language attributes.
SOS
- The BBCode in my post is being replaced with <pre>’s just fine, but I don’t see the syntax highlighting!
-
Make sure your theme’s footer has
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
somewhere in it, otherwise the JavaScript highlighting files won’t be loaded. - I still see the BBCode in my post. What gives?
-
Make sure you correctly use the BBCode with a valid language attribute. A malformed usage of it won’t result in replacement.
- I use the visual editor, my code has lots of line breaks inserted, what do I do?
-
Use ‘shift + return’ instead of ‘return’ when changing lines.
