Notice: you will need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser for this to work.
I had developed another Source Code syntax highlighting plugin using Geshi before,but they are totally different things.with Geshi,code is parsed on the server side,no javascript is needed.

It’s hard to say which is the better,choose one based on your own needs.

  11.     a=$(( $a + $b ))
  12.     b=$tmp
  13.   done
  14. }

FAQ (from http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/)

  1. Which languages does it work for?
    The comments in prettify.js are authoritative but the lexer should work on a number of languages including C and friends, Java, Python, Bash, SQL, HTML, XML, CSS, Javascript, and Makefiles. It works passably on Ruby, PHP and Awk and a decent subset of Perl, but, because of commenting conventions, doesn’t work on Smalltalk, Lisp-like, or CAML-like languages.
  2. How do I specify which language my code is in?
    There’s no way to tell it which language because would complicate the interface. If it doesn’t guess the language properly, that’s a bug.
  3. Which browsers does it work with?
    It’s been tested with IE 6, Firefox 1.5 & 2, and Safari 2.0.4. Look at the test page to see if it works in your browser.
