< ?php /* Code Highlighter Plugin */ ?>

After I published the post on how I improved my search page on this site I realized that WordPress has the tendency to, more or less, eat all the code that is included in a post. Moreover, it makes most of the code illegible. Programming was never ment to be easy, if it was it would have been done differently. Which is why I created this small plugin that makes, at least in my opinion, programming easier as it allows for faster interpretation when sharing code.

When I first started with this plugin I didn't want to rewrite all my earlier blog posts and thus making a plugin that could use the current formatting of my posts through reading between the code-elements was key. A simple idea, really.

With some help from Scott Merrill and some general feedback from the people around me I am pleased to announce the first official publication of my code highlighter plugin.

There is a more technical and detailed text about the plugin itself at http://hvassing.com/my-projects/code-highlighter. Hope anyone else can benefit from it, if you do I would love to hear about it in a comment.
