html code highlighting for wordpress

I always wondered how people managed to highlight their code in blogs and forums. First I discovered that SubEthaEdit can output your code as coloured html, but this wasn’t perfect, as I don’t usually code with it. Then I discovered the Code Snippet plugin for WordPress. All I have to do is wrap the code in [code lang="lang"]code here[/code]. You just replace the second lang with the language you’re using, e.g. bash or actionscript, etc., and it does the rest! I gotta say, the colours it marks my actionscript with aren’t the ones the Flash IDE uses, but I suspect there is a stylesheet somewhere I could use to tweek that.

Supported languages are:

    * actionscript-french
    * actionscript
    * ada
    * apache
    * applescript
    * asm
    * asp
    * bash
