Title: Inline code in editor Last modified: December 30, 2022 --- # Inline code in editor * Resolved [kvv213](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvv213/) * (@kvv213) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-code-in-editor/) * Hi Everyone! * Is there a plugin or a way how to implement a modern way of emphasizing of some part of the text that may have some part of source code, command or other instruction with just ‘ signs. * For example: bl-bla-bla ‘my.exe -t -e -s -t’ bla-bl-bla * If there is an additional ability to transform this block * ”’ php * var a=1; * ”’ * Into a pre code block that will be 10x greater.

This tends to be for very short snippets. * Thread Starter [kvv213](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvv213/) * (@kvv213) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-code-in-editor/#post-16331247) * I’m sorry, I did a wrong direction. * I need it in `the Classic editor` not in the modern block one. There is no such a function. * I write articles in MS Word and then import them into WordPress and finalize with the Classic editor. How can I add these features into the Classic Editor? - This reply was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by [kvv213](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvv213/). * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-code-in-editor/#post-16331439) * Oh. In that case, there is nothing built into core. * There’s several different plugins available to use as a syntax highlighter. Most of those work via shortcodes. * If you’re still using the classic editor then most of them will work. Even if they say they’re out of date. * [lmarks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lmarks/) * (@lmarks) * [3 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-code-in-editor/#post-16331622) * Well, this may not please you, but it would be a piece of cake for me: do the whole thing in raw HTML. I started doing web pages that way in 1995, built and maintain several websites. I just began learning WordPress a year ago. * When your Word doc is done, do a global Replace All (Ctrl-H) changing **^p** to **

**. Then save as .txt which will remove all other formatting. This will precede every paragraph with **

** and end it with **

**. Manually fix the beginning of the first paragraph and the end of the last one. * Open the text file with e.g., Notepad and Copy it. Open the Classic Editor, press Ctrl-Alt-Shift-M to get to the HTML “Code” editor. Paste the file in and add the markup. * For a few lines of computer code, use the tag. This is usually like a separate paragraph.

Following is a simple program

For I = 1 to 6Print IEnd For * For something the user types, use the tag. This is usually short, in the middle of a paragraph.

After doing blah, blah, you will enter my.exe - t -e -s -t and then…

* For output, the tag is used.

I started doing web pages that way in 1995, built and maintain several websites. I just began learning WordPress a year ago. * I’ve started to build HTML pages back to the similar time with help of Hot Dog HTML editor and Volcov Commander 🙂 But now I would like more comfort in posting notes. * MS Word has an ability to publish blog posts directly to WordPress site using xmlrpc feature. So there is no need for manual processing of Word’s code. There is a special template for blog posts. * But I found out that I have feature if I use Text mode editing in the Classic editor. But it works exactly as a inline code feature I need. But doesn’t support 
 feature for multi line code. Aldo  is not visible
   in Preview mode (as well as  tag). But this can be fixed with CSS.
 * That is great but I’d like to get an ability to use \` feature for inline code
   and a number of apostrophe for multiline code. I thing that there should be a
   plug in for this. I’ve checked it but couldn’t find it.

 * **EnlighterJS Syntax Highlighter**
 * can do the required highlighting but… it appeared that there are too many data
   with these apostrophes in the data base and they mix up with inline code. So,
   I have to apply manually to all the tags.
