Usage

Just select all your source code in the editor and use editor button (preferred method) or surround your code directly in WYSIWYG editor with a [codesyntax] [/codesyntax] tag like this

[codesyntax lang=”php”]

<?php //Replacing tags $find [] = '/<br\s*\\?>/i'; $replace [] = "\r\n"; $content = preg_replace($find, $replace, $content); ?> 

[/codesyntax]

[filesyntax filename=”test.phps” lang=”php”]

The tag in the last example should be enabled in settings. See it’s description below also.

and you will get wonderful geshi formatting. Format all your source code with Preformatted style to preserve spaces.

If you need to change settings of already formatted block – select it all and press GUI editor button again. Plugin will recognize all settings you used.

Plugin recognizes several popular geshi options to render highlighting:

filename

The relative filename of the file inside a folder, allowed for [filesyntax] tag to take the source for highlighting from. Works only in [filesyntax] tag

lang

Where do I send suggestions on improving the plugin?

I am glad to accept offers or code patches for the plugin by email: [email protected]

Why PHP scripts are not highlighted with your plugin?

Please start PHP code you want to highlight from PHP tag <?php and it will be highlighted just fine.

Line spacing is crippled?

If you write code in the editor, make newlines with Ctrl-Enter, not just enter. If you paste it – format it using an editor buttor or at least ensure you formatted all source using Preformatted style

Why embedding styles option is marked as “breaking” and “slow”?

• Publishing tag outisde tag is breaking HTML validity
• Every time browser encounters tag, it needs to rerender the whole page, because some styles could be redefined
