Hi there,

I just wanted to share with you how I’ve enabled code highlighting in my blog by leveraging the utilities provided by this theme.

I wanted to embed code snippets without all the boilerplate: PRE and CODE elements, and the “prettyprint” class. I just wanted to put my code in a CODE element and set the language.

I accomplished this with the following CSS and JS:

I wanted to use jQuery for the JS, but it wouldn’t be available by the time that my JS was executed. (Yes, I could’ve make the code execute on page load, but this code is simpler).

Is there any chance that this could be integrated in the theme?

Thanks!

Hi, you can use syntax_prettify shortcode.

[syntax_prettify linenums=""]Text here.[/syntax_prettify]

linenums="linenums" … To show line numbers.
