Urvanov Syntax Highlighter Plugin

Reincarnation of Crayon Syntax Highlighter. Syntax Highlighter supporting multiple languages, themes, fonts, highlighting from a URL, or post text.

Reincarnation of Crayon Syntax Highlighter. Somewhere in documentation and in UI it still shows like Crayon. Don’t be scrared of this.

How to use the plugin:

A Syntax Highlighter built in PHP and jQuery that supports customizable languages and themes.
It can highlight from a URL, or WordPress post text. Crayon makes it easy to manage Language files and define

Installation

  • Download the .zip of the plugin and extract the contents.
  • Upload it to the WordPress plugin directory and activate the plugin.
  • Even easier, just go to Plugins > Add New and search for “Urvanov Syntax Highlighter”.
  • You can change settings and view help under Settings > Crayon in the WordPress Admin.
  • Make sure your theme either manually specifies jQuery, or uses the version shipped with WordPress (recommended). You should NOT print out jQuery manually in the header as a script tag. Enqueueing it in WordPresss will prevent duplicate jQuery includes (also bad) and will allow other scripts to be placed AFTER jQuery in the head tag so they can use it. If you’re uncertain, just let WordPress handle it and remove any jQuery script tags you find in your theme’s header.php.
  • Oll old Crayon inline and blocks should work by default.
  • Don’t use standard Code block in new posts. Use special Urvanov Syntax Highlighter block in Gutenberg editor.

1.16

    • Expanding the code is delayed in the same way using the toolbar delay setting.
    • French translation
    • Portuguese translation
  • FIXED:
    • Carriage returns and new line characters were being treated differently and not being detected correctly. I’m using a new regex which detects both and also captures the line content: (?:^|(?<=\r\n|\n))[^\r\n]*
    • JS variable bugs when minifying with W3 Total Cache
    • CSS did not load in newly opened code window if minified
    • Saved comments did not capture Crayons until they were updated or the post list was refreshed in settings

    • Toggle plain code button appeared when plain code was disabled
    • Updated Turkish translation

1.15

  • ADDED:
    • The settings page no longer searches through all posts looking for legacy tags until you hit a new “refresh” button. Refreshing will look through all posts for crayon tags, and also mark any that are legacy tags. The same process occurs on an individual basis when saving a post.
    • The settings page shows which posts contains legacy tags, and the buttons do not hide when showing the table.
    • Added theme information to the settings page
    • Improved version updating
    • Code in a new window loses size constraints
    • MS-DOS batch language (thanks to http://www.amigalog.com/?p=334)

    • IE 8 compatibility issues
    • Dropdown of languages in settings and Tag Editor are now sorted by name, not id
    • By default “Display the Tag Editor in any TinyMCE instances on the frontend” is disabled to reduce resources
    • Chinese translation updated

1.14

  • All AJAX functions are now using the wp_ajax action and admin-ajax.php method defined here: https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins. This means Crayon no longer passes around the wp_load path and doesn’t use it as a $_GET variable to load AJAX requests. The security vulnerability in 1.13 is no longer present and that code has been removed.
  • font-size and line-height has been removed from the crayon style CSS and is specified using the settings screen – the custom font size is enabled at 12px. This allows you to disable the custom font size and allow your own CSS to take control of the sizing for you. With the custom size disabled the inherited size is applied, so the code will appear at the size of its parent element based on your wordpress theme.
  • Update functionality has been improved so the CrayonWP update function is only called when an update is detected from a change in the version string, not every time you load the page! If using lower than 1.14 the custom font size setting is enabled for you, since this setting was disabled by default in previous versions.
  • Fixed a bug preventing Tag Editor from showing on the front end (related to the AJAX fix)
  • Moved global js variables to the init functions which are called on ready()

1.9.0

  • This update is the biggest update yet – highly recommended for all users.
  • Added a brand new Tag Editor in the Visual Editor toolbar! Greatly simplifies adding code to posts in the Visual Editor. You can also switch between Visual and HTML modes to verify your code before posting!
  • Added ability to decode HTML entities, so now you can use <, > etc. in the Visual Editor. But if you need indentation etc, you’ll want to use the HTML editor for posts with Crayons. You can also use decode=”yes/no/true/false” to set this for an individual Crayon.
  • Added ability to decode attributes, which is enabled by default to avoid seeing encoded strings in the title, and also to allow encoded angle/square brackets in the title that would otherwise clash with the Crayon tag brackets if left unencoded.
  • Added ability to use the class attribute in <pre> tags for specifying settings like url, mark, lang, toolbar and all other valid settings like in a normal [crayon] tag. This will ensure your <pre> tags remain valid XHTML markup even with Crayon disabled.
  • Added ability to specify hyphen-separated-values in the class attribute of a <pre> tag to make them look like actual class selectors. E.g. <pre class=”lang-objc toolbar-false”>…</pre>. The setting name is made up of letters and hyphens ONLY, the value is whatever is left between the last hyphen and the next whitespace character.
  • Added Scheme language thanks to https://github.com/harry75369
  • Added ABAP language with help from Christian Fein
  • Added a new setting: crayon=”false/no/0″ as an attribute or crayon:false in the class tag of a <pre>. …
