C# syntax highlighter for blogging on BlogSpot

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/324062

Question

I'm looking for a syntax highlighter cum code formatter for my blog on BlogSpot. I've tried several today, but the all want to include <style> tags, or reference a stylesheet. I'm looking for one that is ideal for segments of code, and includes styling inline. Any suggestions?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can always copy the extra few bytes of styling for, say, a Pygments highlighter (which really is quite excellent) into the <head> of your blog. You don't even need to install any software; just copy the HTML from the online service.

I've created a Free Online C# Syntax Highlighter that has exactly the ability you need - to inline the needed CSS styles. All you have to do is to select the "Inlined styles" check box, paste your C# code and click the Colorize button. You can find it on my blog.

I use SyntaxHighlighter Javascript Library. It's really easy to add and use.

here's more information on it that might help others out:

I had this exact problem.

I wrote an image formatter for Pygments (included in the core distribution).

Please don't hate me for such an abomination, but yes, it renders the highlighted code as a png or jpg or whatever you want. So it has no external dependencies etc.

pygmentize -f png -o mysource.png mysource.cs

I try to make sure that I always link a plain text version of the source for people copy-pasting.
