How to display code samples on a blog page ?

[eluser]opel[/eluser]
I have almost finished writing my blog and hope to include code snippets and tutorials inside articles.

Can anyone recommend a CI library or JQuery plugin that can highlight the code, possibly offering a plain text version.

I found many plugins for wordpress but no stand along options ?

Cheers

Hi Opel,

I've experimented a bit with Chili, which is jQuery based.

Have a look here:

The most common library for this is GeSHi, there's also a CI plug-in

php already has a function built in to highlight source code files, see highlight_file()

In case anyone is interested I rewrote parts of it to make it a library instead of a hook. I don't need it checking/loading GeSHi on every page load plus I like to be able to just 'drop it in' a project and just add codehighlighting for certain views.

It's pretty much hacked together so it's rather inefficient and crude, but if it works, don't fix it

If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.
