Pre-existing Code blocks on a site are automatically extended to include syntax highlighting. Doing server-side syntax highlighting eliminates the need to enqueue any JavaScript on the frontend (e.g. Highlight.js or Prism.js) and this ensures there is no flash of unhighlighted code (FOUC?). Reducing script on the frontend improves frontend performance, and it also allows for the syntax highlighted code to appear properly in AMP pages as rendered by the [official AMP plugin](https://amp-wp.org)( see also [ampproject/amp-wp#972](https://github.com/ampproject/amp-wp/issues/972)) or when JavaScript is turned off in the browser. This extended Code block uses language auto-detection to add syntax highlighting, but you can override the language in the blockÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s settings sidebar.( There is currently no syntax highlighting of the Code block in the editor, but see [#8](https://github.com/westonruter/syntax-highlighting-code-block/issues/8).) The plugin supports all [programming languages](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/) that [highlight.php](https://github.com/scrivo/highlight.php) supports (being a port of [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/)). The Code block also is extended to support specifying lines to highlight which get marked up with `mark` elements( including in RSS feeds). There is also a checkbox for whether to show line numbers on the frontend (with the numbers being non-selectable). Lastly, given inconsistencies across themes regarding whether lines in a Code block should be wrapped, this plugin adds styling to force them to no-wrap by default, with a checkbox to opt in to wrapping when desired. For advanced usage, please see the [plugin wiki](https://github.com/westonruter/syntax-highlighting-code-block/wiki).

Alas, however, all the pages I had with the older plugin would suffer from an inevitable rendering slowdown — there is so much Javascript on web pages these days that such a slowdown is inevitable, and this is especially true to those scripts that attempt to recognise the language automatically — something that will consume plenty of CPU cycles on the browser. Parsing the language is also no mean feature by itself (I know, IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ve been doing some experiments for some code editors, and, believe me, itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s tough!). So why force the end-user to bear the burden of all that work? It makes much more sense to pre- render everything on the server, and then let the web server send the already-parsed HTML from its cache. That way, the end-user will already have everything on their browser, no need to wait for parsing! Also, if you ‘forget’ to set the language that your code is in (it happens…), the auto-detecting feature will only run on the server, and just once, when you save the post youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re writing. Even if it takes a fraction of a second more to save, think of how much time all those users will save when they get the already-rendered page! So, this plugin is definitely recommended. As a bonus: if you are already using some sort of code block on your WP setup, once you turn off whatever plugin you were using, Syntax Highlighting( Code Block) will immediately pick it up and start its magic (you might need to open and save all the pages youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ve got code on, though — IÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’ m not quite sure if thatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s really the case). That means zero effort( beyond saving) — what you already had will continue to work. And, naturally enough, when you disable this plugin, your code block will just revert to the internal WP code block instead — nothing will be ‘lost’ that way! If youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re still hesitant and reading this to the end… while you wasted your time here, think of how many of your users would have saved their time if you already had this plugin installed 🙂 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/32d51f2a4043c936cd42663e3917116ce03a1b8f8d128e5df657e40aa3941716? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Muy bueno!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/muy-bueno-752/)󠁿 [diegoamorin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/diegoamorin/) Igbe 19, 2022 No agrega bloques nuevos a WordPress, ya que potencia el bloque de código existente. Soporta gran cantidad de Lenguajes, puedes mostrar líneas y marcar ciertas partes del código. ¡Vaya todo lo que necesito! Y no hay que configurar nada!
