bbpress plugin: GeSHi Syntax Highlighting

This plugin will highlight your code snippets using the PHP class GeSHi. With bbpress core version it's possible to post code blocks using the html "code" tag, but the presentation is very basic and hard to read by the forum member. Using this plugin the user is able to highlight code in most popular coding of programming language. This plugin is a fork from the Wordpress plugin WP-Syntax by Ryan McGeary.
