Plugin Name: Code Highlighter
Version: 1.1
Plugin URI: http://hvassing.com/my-projects/code-highlighter
Description: Highlights any PHP-code that's wrapped with a code-element.
Author: Håvard Hvassing
Author URI: http://hvassing.com

This plugin highlights and colour-codes all PHP-code in a post given that the PHP-code is wrapped in a code-element. This allows for easy interpretation of code that's included in a WordPress post as it uses the standard PHP colours for highlighting. The plugin only highlights text that's enclosed in a code-element and that includes a <?php-tag.
E.g.:
<code>[php] /* This is a test comment */ [/php]</code>
[php] /* This is a test comment */ [/php]
<code>< ?php /* This is a test comment */ ?></code>
< ?php /* This is a test comment */ ?>

To install the plugin simply upload it to your wp-content/plugin-directory and activate it from the WordPress administration.
