 * Hi there, that doesn’t sound like issue with the Superhero theme – are you using
   a plugin for that shortcode? If so, you could check the plugin documentation 
   or ask in the plugin’s forum if that syntax is correct.
 * Could you provide a link to your site so I can take a look?

 * not using a plugin no that is the standard wordpress way for embedding code into
   posts but it doesnt work with your theme ??
 * Basically this is my free wordpress here :
 * [http://gunnerjnr.wordpress.com/tutorials/hello-world/](http://gunnerjnr.wordpress.com/tutorials/hello-world/)
   << in this page the code tags work and embed it as actual highlighted code
 * What I have been doing is recreting my wordpress on my domain through the hosts
   cPanel tools, which can be viewed here:

 * Ah, that is a WordPress.com site. 🙂 WordPress.com has a built-in code highlighting
   plugin, which is what drives the shortcode.
 * The plugin is something you’d have to add yourself to a self-hosted site. There
   are a few you could try – the one on WordPress.com is based on this one:
