Easy Code Highlighter 2.0 runs on Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6. Create snippets in the admin component, paste [codehighlight id=X] in content, or insert them with the editor button. Highlighting uses Prism.js. Put several shortcodes on one page for multi-language demos.

Why site owners choose it

• Reusable snippets: manage code once, reuse anywhere
• Simple shortcode: [codehighlight id=X]
• Multi-demo pages: one article can show PHP, CSS, JavaScript, and more
• Modern engine: Prism.js themes, line numbers, line highlight, copy button
• Editor helper: insert published snippets without memorising IDs
• Upgrade path: component snippets keep; migrate content off {code} markers
• Joomla 4 / 5 / 6: service provider plugin, package install, language files

Perfect when you want

• Tutorials and documentation articles with readable code
• Several language samples on a single demo page
• Consistent highlighting across many pages
• A maintained highlighter instead of abandoned SyntaxHighlighter assets
