WP Markdown Syntax Sugar work in conjunction with plugins such as wp-markdown<\/a>\nand wp-highlight.js<\/a>. Markdown is fantastic markup for easily\nwriting blogs, and highlight.js<\/a> is an extremely easy way to highlight\ncode examples. In most cases, highlight.js automatically detects the proper language for a block of code. In certain\ncases, primarily if your code example is short, highlight.js could improperly detect the language that you are using;\nthat is where this plugin comes into play. By adding one line to your code blocks, you can explicitly set the language\nthat you are using, allowing highlight.js to properly format your code.<\/p>\n\n

The concept is inspired by the wp-markdown-syntax-highlight<\/a>\nplugin.<\/p>\n\n

The usage is extremely simple. Just add a shebang as the first line of your code example with the language you are using.<\/p>\n\n

#!ruby\nclass Foo < Bar\n  def hello\n    puts \"Hello World!\"\n  end\nend\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
The shebang is removed, and the code is outputted as:<\/p>\n\n
<pre><code class=\"language-ruby\">class Foo < Bar\n  def hello\n    puts \"Hello World!\"\n  end\nend<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
Now the code block is properly formatted for highlight.js to do its magic, and the code snippet will be properly\nhighlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n
Installation is standard and straight forward.<\/p>\n\n
    \n
  1. Upload the wp-markdown-syntax-sugar<\/code> folder (and all it's contents) to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Modify improperly formatted code blocks with a shebang.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
