When engaged on the articles for the Backend Engineer Learns to Construct Block Editor Blocks collection, I wasn’t proud of how the code samples have been trying throughout the articles.
Beforehand, I’ve written – right here and right here – about my being a fan of the work performed by Zeno Rocha within the Dracula Theme. Ideally, I needed to have the ability to have the colour scheme of the code in my articles match the theme. One thing like a Dracula Theme for WordPress Blocks.
That’s when I discovered spotlight.js and a Dracula theme for it. So I wrote a small plugin for WordPress that works with the present Preformatted block and modifications the colour scheme to match that of Dracula.
I name it WP Dracula Spotlight.js or, extra merely, Dracula Spotlight.
