Highlight Code?
5 replies · Started by Paul Fowler on February 2, 2017
Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can help, I'm using the latest GP Premium on macOS, and am starting my first blog, I'm trying a couple of test posts using Markdown.
The problem I have is that if I add a Terminal command in the post using the Markdown code tags ' ' it shows up fine in Ulysses, but when posted I get it command blank like so:
When I change the Theme to a standard WordPress one, I get the output I'm looking for with the code highlighted:
Does anyone know if this is something I can achieve with GP Premium?
I've looked through the vast settings, but nothing seems to jump out me at what I would need to change?
Cheers,
Paul.
Hi there,
Any chance you can link me to that page? It should just be a case of styling the HTML element wrapping around the code.
Either:
code {
background: #DDD;
padding: 2px;
}
Or:
pre {
background: #DDD;
padding: 2px;
}
Hi Tom,

When I type the test post in Markdown, I am using the 'code' tags, is Ulysses it looks like this before publishing:
Ulysses allows me to publish straight to Wordpress without any editing beforehand, it does all the converting between Markdown & HTML which is a huge preference for me.
Some of the themes I've tried automatically highlight the 'example code' but I prefer to use GP Premium, I've found a plug-in that will highlight the code with GP Premium, but I have to manually change the code tags from using < > to using [ ] which defeats my objective of automatically posting from Ulysses.
The code you have highlighted above, is that something I will need to change every time I post, or is it a permanent edit?
Sorry if this is really basic questions, I'm a complete newbie and this and just stumbling my through at the moment. :)

That site doesn't seem to be using GP?
The code I provided above is a one time edit - you just need to add it to your CSS.
Yeah sorry Tom, by the time I had given you the link, I had since been testing different themes.
But I have entered the code in the GP theme CSS section and it works like a charm, thank you so much for sorting the out for me, much appreciated. 👍
Paul.
Glad I could help :)
