Color Highlighting in posts.

It's possible to specify a part of a post to be code with syntax color highlighting.
This document gives some pointers and examples on how you can do this.

Syntax:
[code:<language>
<code>
:code]

<example>

Some php code:
[code:php
<?php
$ts = mktime();
$date = date("m-d-Y", $ts);
echo "timestamp = $ts and date = $date";
?>
:code]

and some C code
[code:C
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    return(0);
}
:code]
That's it for today

</example>

We use the GeShI php classes for the syntax highlighting.
This means we support the following languages/syntaxes:
abap, actionscript, ada, apache, applescript, asm, asp,
autoit, bash, blitzbasic, bnf, caddcl, cadlisp, cfdg, cfm,
c_mac, c, ,cpp, cpp-qt, csharp, css, delphi, diff, div,
dos, dot, d, eiffel, fortran, freebasic, genero, gml,
groovy, haskell, html4strict, idl, ini, inno, io, java5,
java, javascript, latex, lisp, lua, m68k, matlab, mirc,
mpasm, mysql, nsis, objc, ocaml-brief, ocaml, oobas, oracle8,
pascal, perl, per, php-brief, php, plsql, python, qbasic, rails,
reg, robots, ruby, sas, scheme, sdlbasic, smalltalk, smarty,
sql, tcl, text, thinbasic, tsql, vbnet, vb, vhdl, visualfoxpro,
winbatch, xml, xpp, z80
