Testing the SyntaxHighlighter Scripts

For the last few months, I am on the lookout for a really good syntax highlighter that helps me to post blogs on all the programming languages in a pretty html with syntax coloring/highlighting. This one is taken from http://alexgorbatchev.com/wiki/SyntaxHighlighter

Ruby/Rails 
class TestHighlighter
def my_highlighter
  return "SyntaxHighlighter"
end
end

CSharp

public class TestHighlighter
{
public string MyHighlighter
{
  get {return "SyntaxHighlighter";}
}
}


What did I add to my blog?



Open Edit Html and add this just before in the blog’s template

Thanks to Ashraf for informing me about the Windows Live Writer Plugin! It will be useful for sure.
