If you’re using Headless WordPress with Next.js or any other frontend framework, you might have run into a small issue when displaying code snippets: the native WordPress code block doesn\u2019t support syntax highlighting. This can be a problem for developer-focused sites or tutorials where reading and understanding code snippets is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shortcoming of the native Code block often leads developers to look for other solutions that support code syntax highlighting. For a recent headless WordPress project our team worked on, we researched a few options including the Syntax-highlighting Code Block (with Server-side Rendering)<\/a> and Code Block Pro<\/a>. We found Code Block Pro to offer the highest quality syntax highlighting, provide tons of features and customization options, and even support a number of popular VS Code themes to choose from, giving code snippets a nice, professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this guide, we’ll show you how to install and use Code Block Pro with a Headless WordPress setup, ensuring your code snippets are presented properly on the front end.
