More details
IMPORTANT NOTE: This plugin is no longer maintained due to significant efforts to solve compatibility problems with Rich Text Editor, which is now standard with Jira Core 7.4. With release of Jira Core 7.5 a lot more languages are supported out of the box now. Therefor please uninstall Jira Syntax Highlighter Plugin and update to Jira 7.5.
The Jira Syntax Highlighter PlugIn replaces the standard formatting macros {noformat} and {code}. It gives you a more advanced layout and support for additional languages like C#, C++, PHP, Ruby, Python, Objective-C, SQL, Perl, HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc.
Syntax highlighting is available in Jiras view issue screen and in preview mode during create, edit or comment of an issue (see screenshots). It is also available in activity streams, emails, Jira Agile boards etc.
Line numbers can be added, starting line number or title can be set. Also highlighting of single or multiple lines and collapse is supported.
See Documentation for more details.

1.9.1Jira Server 5.0 - 6.3.152014-07-23Data Center compatibility; Searching for beta tester for next major release - Data Center compatibility
- Searching for beta tester for next major release
I am currently developing a major release to support syntax highlighting in activity streams and emails and also to solve some incompatibilities with other plugins and browser specific problems.
To achieve this, I am changing from clientside highlighting with JavaScript in the browser to serverside highlighting in Java. This means a complete redesign and change of concept.
Therefore I am looking for beta testers to make sure everything works fine before releasing this new major version.
Please read more details here. Thank you very much!
