-You can color or highlight code snippets within Moodle resources, forum posts etc. To do so you must install the GeSHi (Generic Syntax Highlighter) Filter. This makes the power of GeSHi available in Moodle through the use of a pair of special tags.
+There used to be [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=filter_geshi filter_geshi] available for the syntax highlighting but is was [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-8002 removed].
 See [[MoodleDocs:Style_guide#PHP_syntax_highlighting]] that does not need any additional filter

	~~WARNING: (This warning applies to Moodle 1.9.4. It may apply to other versions, but I have not tested to confirm) The GeSHI filter, while it does work, when used~~ in ~~conjunction with~~ the ~~HTML Editor, can be quirky, frustrating, and difficult to use. See my reproducible example, below.~~		Enclose your code in spans under the source of html editor like so:

	~~Enclose your code in spans like so:~~		<nowiki><span syntax="code">your code goes here</span></nowiki>

	<nowiki>[code ~~lang]~~your code goes here [/~~code]~~
	~~[code lang linenumbers]your code with line numbers [/code]~~
	~~[code lang highlight=1,2,6-9]your code with lines 1, 2 and 6~~
	~~to 9 highlighted "extra" [/code]~~
	~~[code lang linenumbers start=4]start the line numbers at "4" [/code]~~</nowiki>

	~~=== Reproducible Example ===~~

	~~To achieve good results in Moodle 1.9.4+, use the following steps:~~

	~~# Type the GeSHI open/close tags -- "[code php][/code]" -- into the HTML editor (change "php" to another language as required)~~
	~~#* No quotes, just SQUAREBRACKET-c-o-d-e-SPACE-p-h-p-SQUAREBRACKET~~
	~~# Highlight these open/close GeSHI tags and choose "preformatted"~~
	~~# Copy code from textual source~~
	~~# Paste into HTML editor using source-HTML mode (click the "<>" button to switch modes). Paste '''in-between the [code][/code] brackets'''~~
	~~# Save and return to course~~

			<nowiki><span syntax="code" linenumbers="yes">your code with line numbers</span></nowiki>
