Syntax Highlighter Usage

by Nickolas on Dec.04, 2009, under Laboratory

I finally decided myself for using the SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin for displaying code. Reason is, even though I love Mootools, the Lighter.js class wasn’t quite that easy to use/implement.

Granted, I could have tried harder maybe, but I simply find the class a bit… unsupported.

So, here we are with this class, with code coloring a bit “odd”. I’ll see about that as well a bit later. Tell me what do you think about this highlighter vs the Lighter.js class… if you got anything to sat about it that is!

I’m gonna give Lighter.js another try later though… who knows, maybe it’s “lighter” then this script to use, once well set up (no pun intended)!
