Code highlighting or code blocks?

Is it possible to configure this forum software to either highlight code snippets or otherwise display them in a block? That would make posting/reading code much easier.

Hey John....I don't know if that is possible or not. I'll find out and let you know. That would be a great feature for sure!

Whenever I create a post with code in it, I use the "Insert Code" button on the toolbar of the rich text editor. Is it possible this feature is not available on whatever browser/environment you are accessing the forums from? For me, the toolbar for editing posts/replies has two "paste" buttons, "Insert Code" and "Paste from Word". Or perhaps I missed the intent of your request altogether. An example of a code block created when I used the "Insert Code" button is in my most recent reply to this post. Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

Ya, know, I moused over the menu several times just to make sure I wasn't missing anything...:smileymad:

That would address my code block request. Syntax highlighting would be an added bonus if at all possible. :)
