Prismatic vs Code Block Pro – Beautiful Syntax Highlighting

Show off your beautiful code, don’t just display it! This block plugin provides you with a code editor that runs your code directly through the same rendering engine that is used by the popular VS Code editor. This block provides fast, native, code highlighting that renders perfectly in your favorite programming language using popular VS Code themes. Beautiful syntax highlighting that makes sense. To use, navigate to the default WordPress editor, and search for “Code Pro” or start typing “/code”. Visit code-block-pro.com for a lifetime deal on the theme pack (this is a cosmetic-only upgrade).
