Description

The Syntax Highlighter is an addon that inserts syntax highlighting directly into the editor and in the display of wpForo forum topics, automatically detecting code blocks enclosed by HTML tags or markdown and applying color styles based on the detected programming language, without manual configuration. This way, code snippets in languages such as PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python and other common languages are displayed with appropriate color formatting, eliminating the need for external plugins and significantly improving readability for developers and technical communities sharing code examples in their posts.
