## Description

Uses a customized version of the [Code Prettify library](https://github.com/kasparsd/code-prettify-lib/pull/1)
to support local styles and scripts. Plugin applies code highlighting automatically
to all `<pre>` tags on the page.

**Compatible with Gutenberg and doesn’t lock you in with specific markup requirements.**

#### Development

Plugin development [on GitHub](https://github.com/kasparsd/code-prettify).

#### Release verification

Every release since 1.5.2 embeds a checksums manifest (`checksums.json`, bundled
inside the plugin) signed with an Ed25519 key whose public part is:

    ```
    ahCXGA0hozzxgvg+GjQ08HgCMCykMs+sKaXYqbMdGVU=
    ```

Verify an installed copy or a downloaded ZIP with `npx @wpelevator/wp-release verify
<directory-or-zip> --public-key 'ahCXGA0hozzxgvg+GjQ08HgCMCykMs+sKaXYqbMdGVU=':`
the embedded manifest is found and authenticated automatically. GitHub releases 
also attach a detached signature for the ZIP itself.

I hope the developer continues to update it to avoid compatibility issues with future
versions of WordPress.

Used with a block-based theme and it worked perfectly. Love that there is no configuration
required and it auto-detects <code> and <pre> tags. Great plugin, thank you!
