Syntax-highlighting Code Block (with Server-side Rendering)v1.5.2-alpha

This plugin extends the Code block in content management systems to add syntax highlighting that is rendered on the server, making it ideal for developers and site owners who want to display code snippets with better performance and compatibility. It automatically enhances existing Code blocks without requiring manual updates.

• Server-side rendering: Syntax highlighting is processed on the server, eliminating the need for frontend JavaScript like Highlight.js or Prism.js. This reduces page load times and prevents flashes of unhighlighted code.
• AMP compatibility: By avoiding client-side scripts, the highlighted code works seamlessly with AMP pages and when JavaScript is disabled in browsers, ensuring consistent display across different environments.
• Language auto-detection and customization: The plugin automatically detects the programming language for syntax highlighting, but allows manual overrides in the block settings for precise control.
• Line highlighting and numbering: Users can specify specific lines to highlight, which are marked up with mark elements, and choose to show non-selectable line numbers on the frontend for better code readability.
• Styling options: It includes default styling to prevent line wrapping in Code blocks, with a checkbox to enable wrapping when needed, addressing inconsistencies across themes for a cleaner presentation.
