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: https://wordpress.org/plugins/enlighter/

We're using Mivhak Syntax Highlighter on the D Blog.

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

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