In the day to day job I am involved with reading code or sometimes writhing it and sometimes it can be hard to read or write the code if is not properly formatted. Along the years I tried some of the syntax highlighter plugins to ease my work on the sites that I have were I am posting different content. Below I will present the best syntax highlighter plugins for WordPress so you can chose the perfect one for you.
1# Crayon Syntax Highlighter
This is the one that I am currently using on my sites, it has a lot of features and languages, basically you can customize everything with this plugin.
A Syntax Highlighter built in PHP and jQuery that supports customizable languages and themes. It can highlight from a URL, a local file or WordPress post text. Crayon makes it easy to manage Language files and define custom language elements with regular expressions.
2# WP-Syntax
WP-Syntax provides clean syntax highlighting using GeSHi — supporting a wide range of popular languages. It supports highlighting with or without line numbers and maintains formatting while copying snippets of code from the browser.
3# Syntax Highlighter Evolved
