Vaaky Highlighter is a lightweight syntax highlighter plugin for WordPress Gutenberg.
It allows you to add clean, readable, and visually appealing code blocks and code snippets with automatic language detection.
Syntax highlighting is powered by Highlight.js, a fast and dependency-free JavaScript library that supports multiple programming languages and themes.
Vaaky Highlighter is ideal for developers, bloggers, technical writers, and documentation sites who want elegant syntax-highlighted code without unnecessary bloat.
Using it is simple: add the Vaaky Highlighter Sourcecode block in Gutenberg, paste your code, and publish — the plugin handles everything automatically.
