WordPress Enlighter Markdown Tutorial

The Enlighter WordPress plugin comes with extended github flavored markdown support which allows you to used fenced codeblocks as well as backtick inline code within text-editor.

This is an optional feature which has to be enabled on the Enlighter Settings Page: Enlighter -> Editing -> Markdown

Supported language identifier: a full list can be found here

Fenced Codeblocks

Fenced Codeblocks are separated by three backticks. You can set the codeblock language optionally by adding the identifier to the end of the start delimiter.

Example

Structure

Syntax

```<language>
...code...
```

Example

```php
// generate code fragment
$T->_codeFragments[] = array(
    // the language identifier
    'lang' => $lang,

    // code to highlight
    'code' => $match[1],

    // inline
    'inline' => true
);
```

Extended Inline Code

Enlighter supports extended inline markdown code using backticks with a trailing language identifier to set the language of the snippet

Example

Structure

Syntax: `code`<language>

Example: `console.info('Hello World');`js

Standard Inline Code

Standard inline code does not allow you to set the language. In this case the default mode will be used - you can change it in Enlighter -> Editing -> Markdown

Structure

Syntax: `code`

Example: `console.info('Hello World');`
