From within a WordPress page or post, wrap the `[prettify][/prettify]` shortcode around the code snippet you wish to highlight. 2. You can specify a language by specifying the language extension inside the shortcode. Example: [prettify class=”html”][/prettify] 3. The shortcode will work from within either the Visual or HTML editor. Non-short-code method: 1. Wrap your code snippets in “ 2. . 3. You can specify a language by specifying a class in the `element. Example:
