Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Highlight Source Pro version 1.3 as active, updated 18y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.5.
Overview
About this plugin
Powerful, flexible, XHTML-compliant, server-side code highlighting, credits for everything
but ‘making it a plugin’ go to Jay Pipes
and GeSHi.
Features
Highlight sources of any language
automatically, server-side (no javascripts)
XHTML-Compliant, <div>, <ul>, <span> with class-attributes and a css-file are used for styling
set per-codeblock if the code is html_entity_encoded or not
only parses <pre> -tags with the lang= -attribute, thus does not interfere with any regular preformatted contents you might have
degrades beautifully through <pre> -tags (if you keep the sources clean, that is)
all settings through logical, valid arguments for the main container
comes with generic cross-browser CSS (tested: IE5.5+, FF, Safari, Opera)
Version History
1.3: Thanks to a tipp now the link-path to the stylesheets is correct, sorry for the inconvenience
1.2: Leading whitespace isn’t stripped anymore (indents as well as newlines), when there’s no title the title-div is not being generated anymore
1.1: Solved the issue with single-quotes being changed to typographical quotes
Known Issues
0 Strict compliant there’s just no way of getting the offset-based line-numbering to display without inadequate (ab)use of javascript and css hacks, so be warned that IF you use the line-number offset, your documents will NOT validate because of the forbidden start= -attribute for the <ol>!
