How to Make Syntax Highlighter on Blog

How to Create a Syntax Highlighter on a Blog - Discussing about Syntax Highlighter certainly does not escape the complicated codes contained in a Blog or editor of source code in a programming language. What is meant by Syntax Highlighter and its function? I will explain about Syntax Highlighter.

Understanding Syntax Highlighter

Syntax Highlighter is a special feature of the process of moving the code of a particular programming language with text, text color, position exactly the same as that contained in a programming language code to be moved or copied into other forms of writing so that it is easier to read or study it.

Syntax Highlighter is almost exactly the Blockquote feature, but the difference is that the blockquote feature is usually only one color, to change the color according to the original code, it must be done manually. So the point is Syntax highlighter will be effective in the process of making or moving it when compared with the blockquote feature.

In addition to beautifying the appearance of the code sequence in blog posts, the use of Syntax Highlighter is also intended for readers to be able to easily recognize the type of code provided by the author. The effect of using other Syntax Highlighter is that visitors will feel more comfortable reading the contents of blog content, and for the administrator or blog admin will make it more professional in presenting articles on their blog tutorial.

Here I will give the tutorial like an example on my own blog, but I will give it to you with some background color choices.
