I’ve updated the site to use Prism syntax highlighter for styling posted code blocks. This free and open source project is built by a community of contributors and is super-configurable, lightweight and easy to use. It’s a great option to make code blocks easier to read.
Prism is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter, built with modern web standards in mind. It’s used in thousands of websites, including some of those you visit daily.
To use Prism, I installed the Code Syntax Block plugin so I can simply pick the corresponding code language in the default Code Blocks in each blog post.
The plugin will check for a custom theme file here: assets/prism/prism.css, and use that file if it exists. Add your custom file in that location, and it will be used.
