  • Working on WP5.5

    HighlightJS supports a heap of different languages and snippets-block can be modified to include more than it's current default. Works well simple and straight forward

  • Nice and simple

    This is great, nice and simple. It even worked with our old posts that were written in the old editor. As long as the text is in a <code> tag it's good to go. Thanks for the quick solution!

  • Simple and straight-forward

    Nice, simple and straightforward - just add the block and start typing your script. No fancy tidbits to get you distracted. Very useful when you are dragged between several choices - just go for it.
