Hey Vic,

Have you taken a look at the ‘Syntax Highliter‘ plugin? Available from the Downloads page > Member Plugins.

My recommendation would be to use the tinyMCE rich text editor and install our Syntax Highlighter plugin. So – for example – a small section of php code I have been working with today would display like:

add_action('genesis_meta', 'sp_home_genesis_meta');
function sp_home_genesis_meta() {
    if (is_active_sidebar('content-top-left') || is_active_sidebar('content-top-right') || is_active_sidebar('content-bottom')) {
        remove_action('genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop');
        add_action('genesis_loop', 'sp_home_loop_helper');
        add_filter('genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content');
    }
}

Supports a variety of languages and, of course, your users can just use the raw code button and cut and paste.

I’ve installed this plugin and my TinyMCE editor is active.

But how do I make the Syntax Highlight button appear in my editor?

Here’s my editor:

And here are my components settings:

Please advise.

Best,

It should self-configure. Just in case it did not for some reason, can you check the options at Options > Content Settings – bottom left. Make sure it is checked on to load in the forum editor and has some languages listed.

Ah, it doesn’t autopopulate the languages.

Once I selected some languages the button appeared.

Thanks.

Thanks for letting me know. I will check up on whether it should which might be better.
