SyntaxHighlighter scripts not loading unless….

  • This plugin is this close to doing exactly what I need, but I’m having a strange problem. I have fenced code blocks in my post, like:


    ~~~~
    !#cpp
    int main()
    {
    /*...*/
    }
    ~~~~

    This shows up in code font, but is not syntax highlighted. If, somewhere else on the page, I have another code block of this form:


    [code lang="cpp"]
    int foo() { return 0; }
    [/code]

    … then that shows up highlighted, and so does the other block! How crazy is that?

    I’d be fine with this workaround if it weren’t for one thing. When I use the [code]...[/code] form, WP-Markdown makes a hash of that code’s formatting. So my choices are to have no code highlighted, or else have one block that is mis-formatted. Gah. Any guidance is appreciated.

    I’m using WP-Markdown 1.2, SyntaxHighlighter Evolved 3.1.7, and wp-markdown-syntaxhighlighter 0.4.

    For anybody else who has this problem, I found a better workaround. If I put some a code block in an HTML comment, that seems to be enough to get SyntaxHighlighter to wake up and do its job.


    <--
    [code lang="cpp"]xxx[/code]
    -->

    As long as that is on the page somewhere, the C++ syntax highligher script gets loaded, and the other code on the page gets highlighted.

    Needless to say, it would still be nice to have this bug fixed.

    Hi Eric,

    You have the # and ! backwards. ??

    ~~~~
    #!cpp
    int main()
    {
    /*…*/
    }
    ~~~~

    Heh. That’s just a typo in my bug report. (Sorry.) On my blog, it’s a proper shebang, and the issue persists.
