If you are writing a tutorial on CSS, PHP or anyother language, you need to highlight that syntax or code so readers can easily read it. Now the question is how you will be able to do that?, don’t worry it’s very simple as there are lots of plugins available. I tried to list down the best code highlighter wordpress plugins for you. You can download one plugin out of 6 syntax highlighter plugins given below and do tell us which plugin you think is the best.

1. SyntaxHighlighter Evolved

This is the plugin i am using and many other top blogs like Smashing Magazine are using to highlight codes in posts. It allows you to easily post syntax-highlighted code to your site without having to escape the code or anything. It uses the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript package by Alex Gorbatchev to do the highlighting and supports all of the package’s parameters via shortcode attributes.
