SyntaxHighlighter for Java Code

It would be really nice if Syntax Highlighter can be incorporated into the Javaranch forums code displays. That would greatly augment the reading experience.

Santhosh,
Agreed. That kind of thing seems like a great wish list item for us to include at some point in the future.

Wow, thats a good-to-have feature.

But even without any syntax highlighter, it looks fine for me, as the load on server could increase gradually if we keep adding features of this sort.

Moreover, we can very well survive without that feature in place.

Just expressed my views here Santhosh

I understand the server load but this synax highlighter is completely client side, implemented in css and js. That developer has done really a great job developing that library.

Yes, definitely it should be appreciated

Yes...this should be a cool feature!

Yes, syntax highlighting is nice. We added it to the FAQ wiki, which makes for nice looking source code in the CodeBarn (which, by the way, is open for contributions, hint hint). That's done on the server with the JHighlight library.

That is good idea, may be this can be tired out in CodeBarn to start with and if all goes well, can be rolled out to other places.

Integrating is pretty easy. Check out the sample page with two code blocks I have created here.
