I’ve been playing around with syntax highlighting, and I’m thinking I may dump SyntaxHighlighter Evolved. I’ve been using it (well Alex Gorbatchev’s) for years with all of my source code. But your plugin gave me a different idea. Since the prettify.js file in your plugin simply uses jQuery to modify pre tags, all my old code examples get highlighting. That’s an excellent idea! I like the simplicity of the Google Code Prettify, and am thinking of migrating my blog to use it or perhaps another lighter-weight highlighter using your simple approach.
By the way, fantastic plugin… I’ve been looking for a Markdown solution for quite some time now, and nothing seems to match up to your approach.
Thanks,
Damien
