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.

  • Default
  • Django
  • Eclipse
  • Emacs
  • FadeToGrey
  • MDUltra
  • Midnight
  • RDark

Advanced Usage

Changing the appearance of code

There are many options that can be applied inline to control how your formatted code is displayed. These are appended to the class definition after the brush declaration.

auto-links

Enabled by default. Disabling this turns off link detection in the highlighted section, making URLs non-clickable.

<pre class="brush: java; auto-links: false">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
</pre>

class-name

Use this to specify one or more classes that should be applied to the generated highlight element.

collapse

False by default. Forces the highlighted code to be collapsed by default.

first-line

1 by default. Change the starting line number for a section of highlighted code.

<pre class="brush: java; first-line: 20">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
</pre>

gutter

Enabled by default. Turn the line numbers on and off.

<pre class="brush: java; gutter: false">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
</pre>

highlight

Specify one or more lines to be highlighted.

<pre class="brush: java; highlight: [1, 3]">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
System.out.println("Hello World");
System.out.println("Goodbye World");
</pre>

toolbar

Enabled by default. Toggle the toolbar.

<pre class="brush: java; toolbar: false">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
</pre>

title

Allows a title to be set for a block of code. This is not in the class, but in the <pre/> or <script/> tags.

<pre class="brush: java" title="Here is some Java">
String link = "http://www.megatome.com";
</pre>

Take a look at http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter for the documentation on using the Syntax Highlighter tool.

Kwel-vrae

Highlighting code

The basic usage is: <pre class="brush:brush_name">...code...</pre> where brush_name is one of the available brushes.

Why does my content containing “<” and “>” get messed up?

This is an issue with using the <pre /> tags. Replace the < characters with their entity escape of &lt; to get the desired result.
See http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/installation.html for more discussion.
(Note that this issue only happens if you are using the <pre /> tags to surround the highlighted code.)

I get an error saying “Can’t find brush for: xxx”

The most likely issue is that the specified brush is not available as part of the plugin install.

Why “Syntax Highlighter MT”?

There are several plugins already that are named Syntax Highlighter, or some variant. I added “MT” (for Megatome Technologies – my company) to the name to make it unique.
