digitalmars.D.learn - D-oriented Syntax Highlighting Plugin for WordPress?

I've found a ton of syntax highlighter plugins for WordPress, but 
none that admit to supporting D. Anyone know of one?

Or, short of that, perhaps a different site build/management tool 
(read: not WordPress) with decent D syntax highlighting...

Or, one that can be adapted without rolling my sleeves much past 
my wrists.

And while we're on the subject, a couple of related questions:

1) I'm currently using AgilityHoster which gives me a free site 
and $18/year domain registration. Any better deals out there 
without sacrificing UX?

2) Anyone have experience with Github Pages?

3) Or if anyone cares to share experiences with a particular 
hosting service from the POV of running a coding/programming blog?

I use SilverStripe instead of Wordpress, but if WordPress uses TinyMCE you 
can use the codesample plugin[0] with PrismJS[1], which does support D 
(though I don't know if it actively gets updates).

SilverStripe, on the surface, seems quite WordPress-alike. Did 
you find advantages over WordPress, or is it personal preference? 
How's the syntax highlighting? (I skimmed the video, but didn't 
see any mention of this.)

PrismJS looks promising.

I started using SilverStripe 7 or 8 years ago, and have never had a reason 
to look for anything else. It doesn't have the ecosystem of WordPress and 
never seemed to get much following outside New Zealand, but it's well-
designed and makes working with PHP not-horrible (and sometimes almost 
pleasant). I'm not familiar enough with WordPress to make any comparison.

I've documented my syntax highlighting setup[0] but it assumes familiarity 
with SilverStripe; reading through the official examples should be enough:

Thanks, Ryan. I'll take a look.

I believe I use Enlighter for that:

Did you have to massage it? I don't see D in its list of 
supported languages.

OOTB, or...?

I couldn't find a list of supported languages.

Realistically, if you use Java or C++ highlighting, it will look 
plenty good enough for D too.

So take a look down my highlight test page for my adrdox 
generator:

http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/adrdox.highlight.html

(which btw i also happen to use for my new blog 
http://dpldocs.info/this-week-in-d/Blog.Posted_2018_12_31.html )


I wrote like 30 lines of code and very simple definitions to 
support all the languages in that test. And it is plenty good 
enough.

Of course, it DOES support D, extremely fully - it has a 
full-blown D lexer in there. But tbh if I use the C family 
highlighter for D you usually can't tell the difference.

Yeah, I was thinking that. I'd imagine it would be missing a few 
keywords, though.

That's pretty cool. Thanks. However, I'm not seeing anyway to 
grab this and use it. I clicked on links, but didn't really find 
my way to a better understanding.


 (which btw i also happen to use for my new blog

I'll have to check that out.

Cool. And I can download this? I don't know if I'm being dim, but 
I really don't see how to.

No doubt! :)

It supports D out of the box.

Thanks, Mike. Once I downloaded it and dug around, I found the 
list of supported languages. Odd they don't list these on the 
about page or wherever.

I run WordPress on my localhost and use a static site generator 
to create plain html files. These files I can simply upload using 
ftp. Therefore I have a nice ui for editing the content and also 
do not have to care about security and vulnerabilities.

If your reason for not choosing WordPress is related to security 
concerns you could also consider this approach.

Kind regards
Andre

Not so much a security concern, I'm just looking for the path of 
least resistance. If that's WP, that's fine, but if it's another 
road, so be it.
