Overview

Prettify is a WordPress plugin that automatically embeds the required javascript for Google Code Prettify. It also includes a preview of what your code will look like and the ability to customize the look by installing ThemeKit For WordPress. ThemeKit For WordPress is also on WordPress.org.

If you prefer you can run the plugin without ThemeKit and it will just use the default Prettify styles.

Features include:

  • ThemeKit ready.
  • Easy to use syntax and styling.
  • Same syntax highlighter as css-tricks.com.
