  I run a technical blog on wordpress (scratchpad101.com) and from time to time, i have the need of inserting a code snippet and highlighting it such. However, I have not been able to see any plugin of a short-code that can highlight the code for me something like a “https://wordpress.org/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/”

  Is there any chance you plan to incorporate that into .com (this is what I miss hugely on .com, while .org gives me this very well). if not, whats your recommendation on how can i achieve this?

  thanks in advance

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  You should be able to enter source code for viewing into your blog as described here:

  Basically, you’ll just want to wrap your code with tags and indicate the language. Can you give that a try?
