As you probably know, I’m using SyntaxHighlighter Evolved to post syntax-highlighted code. Some people mailed me, that in some of my posted code the underscores are not visible (although copy&paste works). Well, the culprit is the line-height
attribute of the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved cascading stylesheet:
.syntaxhighlighter, .syntaxhighlighter div, .syntaxhighlighter code, .syntaxhighlighter table, .syntaxhighlighter table td, .syntaxhighlighter table tr, .syntaxhighlighter table tbody { margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; border: 0 !important; outline: 0 !important; background: none !important; text-align: left !important; float: none !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; position: static !important; left: auto !important; top: auto !important; right: auto !important; bottom: auto !important; height: auto !important; width: auto !important; line-height: 1.21 !important; font-family: "Consolas", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", Courier, monospace !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-style: normal !important; font-size: 1em !important; /*min-height: inherit !important; *//* For IE8, FF & WebKit */ /*min-height: auto !important;*/ /* For IE7 */ direction: ltr !important; }
Simply increasing the line-height
from the default 1.1em
to 1.21em
in wp-content/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/syntaxhighlighter/styles/shCore.css did the trick.
