Prettify GC Syntax Highlighter

Description

This plugin has prettify.js copied directly from google-code source browser. So your code will look exactly like it does on google-code.
CSS is slightly modified to embolden keywords and types.

License

See prettify.js for license details (Apache License 2.0). Other files are available under GPLv2.

Usage

<pre class="prettyprint">
// Put your code here.
</pre>

Or with shortcode:

  // Put your code here.

Making Code HTML Safe

The plugin automatically makes highlighted code html-safe:

<pre class="prettyprint">
Anything that goes here will be quoted to appear on the page as-is.
For example: <head></head><body></body>
</pre>

To avoid quoting your code, add dontquote as the first class.

<pre class="dontquote prettyprint">
Remember to quote manually.
For example: &lt;head&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt;
</pre>

Line Numbering

Line numbdering can be enabled as follows:

<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
// Put your code here.
</pre>

If you want to start with a line number 42, you can do the following:

<pre class="prettyprint linenums:42">
// Put your code here.
</pre>

Highlighting Lines

When line numbering is enabled you can highlight one or several lines of code using the highlight class:

<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG linenums highlight:2,4">
// line 2
// line 3
// line 4
</pre>

Alternatively you can highlight one or several code segments:

<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG linenums highlight:1-3,5-6">
// line 2
// line 3
// line 4
// line 5
</pre>

Note: This feature is not available when line numbering is disabled.

Specifying Language

Most of the time the highlighter will do a good job guessing how to highlight the code. However, to achieve the best result, you should specify the language:

<pre class="prettyprint lang-YOURLANG">
// Put your code here.
</pre>

Replace YOURLANG with one of the following:

  • aea
  • agc
  • apollo
  • bsh
  • c
  • cc
  • cl
  • cpp
  • cs
  • csh
  • css-str
  • cv
  • cxx
  • cyc
  • default-markup
  • el
  • fs
  • go
  • hs
  • htm
  • html
  • java
  • js
  • json
  • lisp
  • lua
  • m
  • ml
  • mxml
  • perl
  • pl
  • pm
  • proto
  • py
  • rb
  • scala
  • scm
  • sh
  • sql
  • vhd
  • vhdl
  • wiki
  • xhtml
  • xml
  • xsl
  • yaml
  • yml

Shortcode

Here is a quick example. All the parameters are optional.

  // Put your code here.

Html quoting can be disabled as follows:

  // Put your code here.

The contents of shortcodes is auto-formatted by WP. As a result <p> and <br/> tags along
with some formatting will be lost. If you need to preseve the original formatting use
html notation instead of the shortcode.
