TinyMCE: Add code sample example

In this post, I'm sharing how to add code sample examples in TinyMCE. If you are doing a blog functionality that same with codeanddeploy.com that is able to share a formated code from any programming language then this is for you.

 

With the use of codesample plugin, you can able to do it. Just register it to your TinyMCE configuration plugins.

 

See the below example:

plugins: [
    "codesample"
],

 

Then add these programming options:

codesample_languages: [
    {text: 'HTML/XML', value: 'markup'},
    {text: 'JavaScript', value: 'javascript'},
    {text: 'CSS', value: 'css'},
    {text: 'PHP', value: 'php'},
    {text: 'Ruby', value: 'ruby'},
    {text: 'Python', value: 'python'},
    {text: 'Java', value: 'java'},
    {text: 'C', value: 'c'},
    {text: 'C#', value: 'csharp'},
    {text: 'C++', value: 'cpp'}
],

 

After adding that you will see a Code sample on the hovering Insert menu.

When click the Code sample will display the dialog box then select your programming language to format then add your code.
