New Syntax Highlighting...

Hey everyone, the admins have implemented a new hack to the
forums, allowing you to post your code with nicely coloured text
rather than just the normal black or the old php stuff.

More details can be found here:
http://forums.devshed.com/t279108/s.html

Html code:
[highlight=html4strict]your code here[/highlight]

For example:

html4strict Code:

Original - html4strict Code

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
 
<body>
<h1 class="header_text">
    Nice One!
</h1>
<p id="main_content">
    <span style="color:red;">Lorem ipsum</span> dolor sit amet, consectetur
    adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore
    magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco
    laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in
    reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
    Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia
    deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
</p>
</body>
</html>

The same goes for JavaScript code:
[highlight=javascript]your code here[/highlight]

javascript Code:

Original - javascript Code
<script type="text/JavaScript"> function doStuff() { //declare vars... var foo='bar'; var o=document.getElementByid('something'); /* -Take the value and convert to a float. -alert the value */ var v=parseFloat(o.value); alert(v); } </script>

 
<script type="text/JavaScript">
function doStuff()
{
    //declare vars...
    var foo='bar';
    var o=document.getElementByid('something');
    /*
        -Take the value and convert to a float.
        -alert the value
    */
    var v=parseFloat(o.value);
    alert(v);
}
</script>

The same goes for CSS highlighting:
[highlight=css]your code here[/highlight]

css Code:

Original - css Code
/Comments/ body { property:value; } body, div { property:value; }

 
/*Comments*/
body
{
    property:value;
}
body, div
{
    property:value;
}

As you can see from the thread I linked, there are many many
other languages supported, but these three examples are more
likely to be used than any other in this particular forum...

Have fun with it, and please do use this feature, I'm sure it will
make things much easier for us to read/understand, rather than
just posting chunks of code.

Enjoy!

--Jon.
