Title: CC-Syntax-Highlight Author: Clearcode Published: September 29, 2016 Last modified: March 16, 2022 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/cc-syntax-highlight/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1505027) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/cc-syntax-highlight/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1505027) # CC-Syntax-Highlight By [Clearcode](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clearcodehq/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cc-syntax-highlight.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/cc-syntax-highlight/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/cc-syntax-highlight/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/cc-syntax-highlight/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/cc-syntax-highlight/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cc-syntax-highlight/) ## Description The CC-Syntax-Highlight plugin supports syntax highlighting of Posts, Pages, and any public Custom Post Types. It uses [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/) or [google-code-prettify](https://github.com/google/code-prettify) libraries. Additionally it can use the [clipboard.js](https://clipboardjs.com/) library to add a button that copies text to the clipboard and [highlightjs-line-numbers.js](https://github.com/wcoder/highlightjs-line-numbers.js/) plugin to add line numbers. It is delivered with support for shortcode (default ```notranslate - you can change it on the settings page) which automatically converts all special characters to HTML entities. This plugin is compatible with Multisite WordPress installations.

How does it work?

  1. Go to the 'Settings > Syntax Highlight' page, select your preferred options and save them.
  2. Simply add the source code to your post (or other selected public Custom Post Type) wrapped with: <pre><code>Your source code</code></pre> or if you would like to automatically convert all special characters to HTML entities, use shortcode wrapper instead (default [code] - you can change it on the settings page): <pre>[code]Your source code ``` _Plugin’s js scripts and css styles files only load if the source code occurs on displaying page._ ## Screenshots * [[ * **CC-Syntax-Highlight Settings** – Visit the ‘Settings > Syntax Highlight’ page, select your preferred options and save them. ## Installation #### From your WordPress Dashboard 1.

It also is responsive, making this plugin pretty much perfect. Just hope the dev keeps it up to date.
