Syntax Highlighting with “Code Prettify”
This is now implemented. See Stack Overflow’s help on Syntax Highlighting.
Specifying a language for syntax highlighting
Besides tag inferences (a recent change), you can manually specify a language as a hint to Google Code Prettify.
Here’s how:
<!-- language: «lang-or-tag-here» -->
«code goes here»
«more text»
<!-- language: «lang-or-tag-here» -->
«code goes here»
You may use either a tag or a prettify language code. Prettify language codes are guaranteed to work, regardless of what language the tag happens to be set to.
