Works as documented. Easy way to have syntax highlighting for posts containing code.
Thank you for developing this plugin!

### 󠀁[good for a developer site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-for-a-developer-site/)󠁿

https://linux-guru.azurewebsites.net/ My site has many code based articles for developers.
Not much for WP as of yet but mostly for more general ideas for a custom web site
from scratch. https://linux-guru.azurewebsites.net/location-based-advertisements/
is an article on SQL that I am working on, and this plugin has been able to get 
around some of problems with WP mangling code cut and paste does not get rid of 
the escaped code which is why I like that escaped switch which allows for clean 
SQL code that works safely

### 󠀁[Nice Plugin but can be imporved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-but-can-be-imporved/)󠁿

The Plugin installed and worked as expected, but if there were some customisation
option it would be great the one i could think of is implementing the dark theme
for the code preview which can be easily achieved by changing the style sheet.

### 󠀁[light-weight and handy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/light-weight-and-handy/)󠁿

 [librazh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/librazh/) zosun 29, 2016

Its really good and easy to be used. Only thing is the style is to be improved. 
I am not the expert to change the default css for example to increase the padding
of a line, it makes the backgroud crashed so I’ve given up.

The plugin is light weight and simple. Its style can be customized using CSS. Those
who are looking for options in menus will have to look for another plugin
