如何在文章里嵌入代码

我们在写有关代码技巧的文章的时候,总会需要在文章里嵌入代码,诸如HTML, CSS, PHP, javascrip等等。如何让代码能够不执行,仅仅显示呢?很多博主应该都会遇到这个问题。

在一篇文章中,我们对代码一般会有这样两种处理方式:一类是我们在一段话中引用代码,来加以说明;另一种则是高亮显示完整的代码段。

在一段话中引用代码,我们可以用<code>和</code>把代码包括进来。
比如:如果要显示“我们今天要讨论的是index.php”,可以在编辑器里这样输入:我们今天要讨论的是<code>index.php</code>。

但如果代码里有HTML标签的话,这样仅仅用<code>和</code>还是不行的,Wordpress会解读为你在使用html标签。
比如要显示:“我们来看<div class="header">”,在编辑器里,我们必须使用字符集&lt;来替换标签左括号,用&gt;替换标签右括号,然后再用<code>和</code>把代码包括进来,即: <code>&lt;div class=”header”&gt;</code>。

你可以阅读WordPress官网上的这篇文章,那里有详细的解释。

以上是说明如何在一段话中引用代码。另一种情况是,我们需要单独高亮显示一整段代码段,来表达某个功能的实现方式。

使用Wordpress代码编辑插件。
以下有一些推荐的,其实每种都很好用,看个人喜好。

使用SyntaxHighlighter
SyntaxHighlighter 是一款基于javascrip的开源代码高亮显示工具。使用起来也很简单,你只需要把以下代码段copy到<head>头文件里(或者是其它你需要高亮显示代码段的任意地方),移除不需要的语言。
