How to use SyntaxHighlighter

Place your code on the page and surround it with <pre> tag. Set name attribute to code and class attribute to one of the language aliases you wish to use.

<div class=”dp-highlighter“> </div>

<pre name=”code” class=”ruby” style=”display: none;“>
… some code here …
</pre>

An alternative to <pre> is to use <textarea> tag.

<textarea name=”code” class=”ruby”>
… some code here …
</textarea>

And You will get an output like

def create<br /> if request.post?<br /> @customer=CustomerInformation.new(params[:customer])<br /> if @customer.save<br /> Mailer.deliver_new_registration(@customer)<br /> render :partial=> ‘thank_you’, :layout=>’application’<br /> end<br /> end<br /> end
