Wordpress syntax highlighting for R is a pain

Will Lowe (2012-12-26 10:57)

Here's some steps that work for me on Wordpress (v3.5)

install the WP SyntaxHighlighter plugin via the Dashboard
install the Lang Pack for WP SyntaxHighlighter. I did this by simply moving the contents of
```
wp-content/plugins/wp-syntaxhighlighter/sample/
```
into the main plugin directory (from the command line actually) and then activating the Lang Pack that appeared in the plugins part of the dashboard. That gets us R code highlighting.
Inelegantly remove the weird little green acknowledgements box that seems to clash with everybody's theme colours by adding the lines
```
SyntaxHighlighter.defaults['toolbar'] = false;
```
directly before the two calls to
```
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
```
in the file
```
wp-syntaxhighlighter.php
```
