Syntax Highlighter version 1.2

A new day (yesterday)* a new release of the syntax highlighter plugin.

This one adds support for line numbers; whether line numbers are displayed and the starting line number is controlled through attributes to the pre tag.

<pre lang=[cpp|cppcli|csharp|php|html|css|xml|xsl|text] 
  useLineNumbers=[true|false] startingLineNumber=[1|...]>
// Your code here
</pre>

Case doesn’t matter for the useLineNumbers or startingLineNumber attribute names but the values are case sensitive.

Download Syntax Highlighter v1.2 (23.9Kb). Installation is simple, extract the zip file to your WordPress installation directory and modify syntax_highlighter2.php the 'default' => 'csharp', line to tell the highlighter how it should colorize pre tags that don’t have the lang attribute set, or set to a valid value.

Once that is done you need to add some CSS classes to your sites stylesheet:

pre span.linenumber {
    color: gray;
    border-right: 1px solid gray;
}

pre span.comment {
    color: green;
}

pre span.keyword {
    color: blue;
}

pre span.number {
    color: red;
}

pre span.string {
    color: #990000;
}

Once that is done upload the files to your webserver and you should be ready to go.
