This is a very basic and crude highlighter. It doesn’t highlight keywords, strings, or any of the things fancy highlighters everywhere else do. Simply, this highlights every alternate line of code with a separate background colour.

Requires the jQuery framework, but only to select the <pre><code> blocks. If you know what you’re doing, you can remove the code to include the framework, and fix the code from the plug-in editor page.

Demo

<?php

echo "This is a simple, alternate version of the 'Hello World!' example";

function helloWorld(){
    echo "Hello World!";
}

helloWorld();
?>

Still no keyword highlighting. Will skip 0.8, 0.9 and include that in 1.0.

None! (probably because there aren’t any complicated features!)
