Inline code highlighting for the inline <code> format #5

Description

@ajaydsouza

Summary

Optional syntax highlighting for inline <code> elements via a rich-text format extension with a language picker.

Details

  • Register a rich-text format (registerFormatType) that wraps/annotates the core inline-code format with a data-wzcbh-lang attribute and a small language dropdown in the format toolbar.
  • Client mode: Prism highlights matching inline elements; server mode: a render_block / the_content pass runs highlight.php on flagged inline spans with remap_token_classes().
  • Off by default via a global setting; inline styling (background, padding) inherited from the active theme.

Why

Technical writing is full of inline references like add_filter() or wp_enqueue_script(); consistent theming between inline and block code is a frequent user request in competing plugins.
