  • Really nice

    Looks like Carbon.now.sh but actually allows copying the text. Really happy with this plugin.

  • Great plugin!

    Very nice plugin! Clean and fast. The only issue i have is that if you set slim="no", the first line of code disappears half way under the top border, so most likely need a bit of padding added. Other than that it great, Thanks a lot!

  • Beautiful

    This is what I had been looking for. It's beautiful and simple. I wish there was a way make it show as a regular Gutenberg block, I also wish there was a way to limit the height of the snippet. For example many of my snippets are just one line, but the snippet takes up to 4 lines, it would be nice if one could control the height so things would look a little slicker. Other than that awesome plugin, no problems with it so far. Keep up the good work.

  • It simply works!

    After spending the last couple of days looking for a plugin to give some style to my code snippets (basically CSS, PHP, and Javascript), this is the only one that worked just fine with ThriveArchitect (and I likely tested all of the 'highlight' plugins from the repository.) Simple, lightweight, great dark theme, works with a short-code and includes a 'copy to clipboard' button. If anything, I'd ask to be able to customize the text strings from the events 'on success copy' and 'on error' without having to mess with js files (maybe with a couple of extra parameters in the short-code.) Keep up the good work!
