moodle-filter_syntaxhighlighter

This is a filter plugin that uses a 3rd party Javascript module called highlight.js to make your code look like something you'd see in an IDE.

Once activated, you just need to wrap your code in: <pre><code></code></pre> tags (You will need to activate html mode in Atto), or use the MarkDown style of using three back-ticks to wrap code (```Code```) and the javascript will style it.

The settings allows you to choose which style to use.
