Plugin / Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter
Andi Dittrich
Description
Description
Enlighter is a free, easy-to-use, syntax highlighting tool for WordPress. Highlighting is powered by the EnlighterJS javascript library to provide a beautiful code-appearance.
Using it can be as simple as adding a new Enlighter Sourcecode block (Gutenberg) and insert the code which you want to highlight: Enlighter takes care of the rest!
An easy to use Theme-Customizer is included to modify the build-in themes without any css knowlegde!
It also supports the automatic creation of tab-panes to display code-groups together (useful for multi-language examples – e.g. html+css+js)

Compatibility
All browsers supported by MooTools (enabled Javascript required) and with HTML5 capabilities for “data-” attributes are compatible with Enlighter. It’s possible that it may work with earlier/other browsers.
Generally Enlighter (which javascript part EnlighterJS is based on MooTools Javascript Framework) should work together with jQuery in noConflict Mode – when you are using jQuery within your WordPress Theme/Page you have to take care of it!
