## ማብራሪያ

There are other good syntax highlighter plugins, but I wanted something simple and
fast and
 be able to add the highlight classes with a select box in the TinyMCE 
editor.

I added some default languages: Javascript, PHP, Python, C, C#, VB.NET, SQL and 
CSS but you can
 easily add other ones.

#### Usage

 1. Select the code inside a PRE tag.
 2. Select the _Code_ item in the select box, this will surround the selected area 
    with a CODE tag.
 3. Then select the language, like Javascript or PHP.
