This is a filter plugin that uses a 3rd party Javascript module called highlight.js to make your code look like something you’d see in an IDE.
This is a filter plugin that uses a 3rd party Javascript module called highlight.js to make your code look like something you’d see in an IDE.
Once activated, you just need to wrap your code in:
<pre><code>code</code></pre>
(You will need to activate html mode in Atto), or wrap your code in triple backticks (like MarkDown) “` and the javascript will style it.
The settings allows you to choose which style to use.

Change requests
Since this is a 3rd party plugin, any change requests that relate to the the styles and features of the highlighting should be directed to the plugin author .
Before you ask…
Can I specify which language I’m using?
You don’t need to, the plugin detects that itself. However, you can choose the language by adding it after the backticks. e.g.
“`lang:php;;
echo “My PHP code”;
“` Or, by adding it to the <code> class attribute:
<pre><code class=”lang-php”>echo “My PHP code”;</code></pre> Can I have line numbering?
No. This isn’t a feature of the javascript plugin. And probably isn’t going to be implemented.
