 * I’m currently using a code highlighter which uses the shortcake tag [code] but
   has stopped working properly possibly due to [this issue](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33351)
 * Using it for PHP, CSS, HTML and js
 * Wonder if i can just change the [php] shortcode tag in your plugin to [code] 
   and use it to highlight the 4 languages?
 * Couldn't find the add_shortcode function in the plugin files.
