Probably not what you're looking for since I ripped it out of another project and added an ugly highlight button at the bottom. If it's not what you wanted then I'll do something more to your request if and when I get some "me" time.

Thank you, my friend, I found him very tired and I appreciate your interest on this subject and thank you for this file

If you're interested more in language-specific syntax highlighting rather than a compact quick copy codebox then this plugin offers much more advanced features.

Plugins Request Board Rules

The Plugins Request Board is governed by the rules of this forum AND by the board specific rules listed below:

Purpose:

Plugins Request is a board for requesting a plugin to be developed by a volunteer member. Since the coders are volunteers, remain patient for your request to be addressed.

Bumping:

You may bump your thread once every 24 hours, however if you have additional information to add, you should modify your last post.

Board Specific Rules:

• Prior to making a request, check the plugin database and the currently open request threads first.
• Make only one plugin request per thread.
• No more than 3 open requests at a time.
• Plugin requests should be for a desired task and not a laundry list of functions you would like to see as a plugin.
• If you no longer need the plugin, make a post in your thread stating you no longer need assistance.

Submitting a Request:

Include all relevant information:

1. Use a descriptive thread title (generally the purpose of the plugin)
2. A forum URL
3. Clear description of what the plugin is supposed to do and/or what is achieved by using the plugin.
4. Include any pictures or links that help describe the function of the plugin’s purpose.

Things to Consider Prior to Making Your Request:

Is the plugin you're requesting useful for every forum on ProBoards or just your own?

Even if you have a super cool plugin idea, plugins can take a long time to create depending on the complexity of the request. Whether or not the plugin will be widely used may be a factor in whether or not your request is accepted.

Plugins do not securely hide content that exists on the page beforehand.

If you're looking for a plugin to restrict an existing forum feature or hide something that exists on the forum by default you'll want to take this into consideration. Plugins run after the page content loads and cannot modify the output of the page before it's received from the server. A plugin can hide an element on the page but that's not going to make the element inaccessible as the element still exists on the page so it's very much possible to circumvent the restriction put in place by the plugin. This isn't meant to outright discourage you from requesting this type of plugin, but rather to let you know beforehand that they don't actually hide your content in case you wonder one day why your users are suddenly able to bypass your plugin's restrictions.

Plugins can only access data that is on the page you're currently viewing.

This means that a plugin cannot reach into the forum's database to display data that doesn't already exist on the page. If data exists in the source of the page you're viewing the plugin can find it, but if something only exists on one page and you want it to instead show on every page you're unfortunately out of luck.

Plugins do not load on the mobile version of the forum.

This is so that plugins containing much more bandwidth-intensive material do not consume as much of the data available on users' mobile plans. If your forum is going to run in a way that is dependent on a plugin's functionality working during every post you may want to consider this before requesting that plugin's creation.
