WordPress Plugin for Google Syntax Highlighter
I am a big fan of the source code highlighter used by the Waffle project. Michael Ward recommended it for me to use when I set my blog up a few weeks ago.
The highlighter itself is simple to use on its own - it’s just a javascript include but I had been using another code highlighter which had a WordPress plugin that made it’s use a snap.
I figured it wouldn’t be too hard to create a plugin for the syntax highlighter (which had larger language support including ruby which I needed) and so I did. The plugin is being hosted by WordPress and I encourage you all to take a look and use in your own blogs.

This doesn’t seem to work with 2.3. I’ve installed, activated, and input even the test syntax you have posted, and, it just doesn’t do anything… at all.
Looked awesome too

hi,
nice plugin and it works with 2.3,
but: your plugin writes class=”javascript” in the script tags. this is wrong and produces an xhtml validation error.
see: http://www.validome.org/validate/?uri=http://www.peterryan.net
it would be better if you use the attribute type instead of class for script tags.

Very nice plugin !
I’ve made some small changes to your HTML markup to get it W3C valid. You can get the modified version here : http://lapin-blanc.net/downloads/google_syntax_highlighter.phps
With this patch, only the plugin markup will be valid, the core JS code always require to use which is invalid.
Please include my changes in trunk

Hi Peter,
I use it on my site and it works very nice. I also made few changes to load only brushes that are needed and move load of JavaScript files to the top of HTML page.
Thank you for your plugin!
