This plugin works like many of the others that enable the use of the Syntax Highlighter tool. Dynamic plugin loading
is now available as part of the Syntax Highlighter tool, making brush configuration obsolete.
Available brushes are:
applescript
actionscript3 as3
bash shell
coldfusion cf
cpp c
c# c-sharp csharp
css
delphi pascal
diff patch pas
erl erlang
groovy
hive
java
jfx javafx
js jscript javascript
objc obj-c
perl pl
php
pig
text plain
py python
ruby rails ror rb
sass scss
scala
sql
vb vbnet
xml xhtml xslt html

Highlighting code
The basic usage is: <pre class="brush:brush_name">...code...</pre> where brush_name is one of the available brushes.
Why does my content containing “<” and “>” get messed up?
This is an issue with using the <pre /> tags. Replace the < characters with their entity escape of < to get the desired result.
See http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/installation.html for more discussion.
(Note that this issue only happens if you are using the <pre /> tags to surround the highlighted code.)
I get an error saying “Can’t find brush for: xxx”
The most likely issue is that the specified brush is not available as part of the plugin install.
Why “Syntax Highlighter MT”?
There are several plugins already that are named Syntax Highlighter, or some variant. I added “MT” (for Megatome Technologies – my company) to the name to make it unique.
