Description
This plugin has prettify.js copied directly from google-code source browser. So your code will look exactly like it does on google-code.
CSS is slightly modified to embolden keywords and types.
License
See prettify.js for license details (Apache License 2.0). Other files are available under GPLv2.
Usage
<pre class="prettyprint">
// Put your code here.
</pre>
Or with shortcode:
[code]
// Put your code here.
[/code]
Making Code HTML Safe
The plugin automatically makes highlighted code html-safe:
<pre class="prettyprint">
Anything that goes here will be quoted to appear on the page as-is.
For example: <head></head><body></body>
</pre>
To avoid quoting your code, add dontquote as the first class.
<pre class="dontquote prettyprint">
Remember to quote manually.
For example: <head></head><body></body>
</pre>
Line Numbering
Line numbdering can be enabled as follows:
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
// Put your code here.
</pre>
If you want to start with a line number 42, you can do the following:
<pre class="prettyprint linenums:42">
// Put your code here.
</pre>
Highlighting Lines
When line numbering is enabled you can highlight one or several lines of code using the highlight class:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG linenums highlight:2,4">
// line 2
// line 3
// line 4
</pre>
Alternatively you can highlight one or several code segments:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG linenums highlight:1-3,5-6">
// line 2
// line 3
// line 4
// line 5
</pre>
Note: This feature is not available when line numbering is disabled.
Specifying Language
Most of the time the highlighter will do a good job guessing how to highlight the code. However, to achieve the best result, you should specify the language:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG">
// Put your code here.
</pre>
Replace YOURLANG with one of the following:
- aea
- agc
- apollo
- bsh
- c
- cc
- cl
- cpp
- cs
- csh
- css-str
- cv
- cxx
- cyc
- default-markup
- el
- fs
- go
- hs
- htm
- html
- java
- js
- json
- lisp
- lua
- m
- ml
- mxml
- perl
- pl
- pm
- proto
- py
- rb
- scala
- scm
- sh
- sql
- vhd
- vhdl
- wiki
- xhtml
- xml
- xsl
- yaml
- yml
Shortcode
Here is a quick example. All the parameters are optional.
[code lang=”scala” start=”1″ highlight=”1-3,6,10-14″ background=”#C0FFB3″]
// Put your code here.
[/code]
Html quoting can be disabled as follows:
[code quote=”false”]
// Put your code here.
[/code]
The contents of shortcodes is auto-formatted by WP. As a result <p> and <br/> tags along
with some formatting will be lost. If you need to preseve the original formatting use
html notation instead of the shortcode.
