Simple Code Block Highlighter

Simple Code Block Highlighter enhances the default WordPress code and preformatted blocks. It can show line numbers, add a copy-to-clipboard button, switch between light and dark display themes, and automatically color code blocks with bundled Highlight.js syntax highlighting.

The plugin uses the WordPress Settings API, validates and sanitizes saved options, escapes admin output, and avoids inline JavaScript-generated HTML for line numbers. Syntax highlighting is served from the plugin files and does not load a third-party CDN on visitor pages.

For setup help, read the Simple Code Block Highlighter guide.
