User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the "Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter" plugin for its simplicity, extensive customization options, and excellent support. It enhances website aesthetics and user experience by allowing beautiful, customizable syntax highlighting. Key features like the "Run" button extension impress users, making it especially beneficial for educational purposes. However, some drawbacks include the lack of a default language setting, conflicts with certain themes or plugins like Divi and Scripts n Styles, and limitations in the number of supported languages. Additionally, a few users experienced issues with custom themes and unexpected line breaks generated in the code. Despite these minor issues, the plugin is highly recommended.

I have been using the “Enlighter – Customizable Syntax Highlighter” plugin for an extended period, and it has consistently impressed me with its functionality and user-friendliness. Moreover, the real game-changer for us was the ability to develop an extension of the plugin called “Enlighter – Extension With Run Button.” This extension added a unique and invaluable feature to our code blocks – a “Run” button. Now, not only can we showcase our code snippets beautifully, but we can also execute them directly on our website, making it an incredibly powerful tool for educational purposes and demonstrations. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the developers and maintainers of the Enlighter plugin for their dedication to providing such a fantastic tool to the coding community. This plugin has not only improved the overall aesthetics of our website but has also enhanced the user experience for our visitors.

The plugin has a wide range of options for customizing the look and feel of code blocks, from the language highlighting to the font and color settings. It also has an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to make changes quickly. I’ve been using Enlighter for a year, and it’s been a great addition to my WordPress site. Highly recommended!

This is an excellent code highlighter, which allows full blocks of code or inline code snippets to be highlighted. It works well with the WordPress Ennova theme up to PHP 7.4. My only minor complaint is that there doesn’t seem to be any way of setting the default language (e.g. Python) to be highlighted, so that every time some code is inserted or an inline snippet is selected, the language must be selected again from a drop-down menu. Since I’d imagine most users would work in the same language for a while, a default setting would be very useful. Other than that, I would recommend it highly.
