Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP-SynHighlight

I am glad to accept offers or code patches for the plugin by email: FractalizeR@yandex.ru
Please start PHP code you want to highlight from PHP tag <?php and it will be highlighted just fine.
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
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
