I got to tell you that I had no intention to blog today. Moreover It’s 1:30 am and I got to be deeply sleeping as I have to get early for work. well this is a lovely summer Egyptian night that pushed me to write even a small hint.

If you are a blogger you must have come through the problem of posting your own code on your blog in approximately the same format or colors you wrote it. I ran throught the same problem when tried to past some c# from Visual Studio to my wordpress post few times in the past. Sometimes I had no time to look for a solution or even was lazy enough to work around it by giving my code different color from post text to highlight it. In my last Post about C# yield statement I decided to take a break and find a good solution for this problem. when I post a piece of code I want it to be clear enough to any reader. I give a try on google and immediately drove me to Syntax Highlighter . Syntax highlighter is a great javascript utility that doesn’t depend on whatever language or technology your blog use. It supports highlighting for many languages including javascript, C#, C++, Css and much more .

Implementation is so easy, after downloading

1-unzip the file

2-upload folders “javascript and css” to your server.

3-add the required references in your page to the css and javascript files.

4- Tag the code segment you want with Pre tag with desired brush/ language you want.

You can find the simple implementation steps Detailed Here.

Then you will enjoy reading your posts the same way you wrote them.
