Publishing code snippets to blogger

I'm using blogger for some month now but was still looking for an easy way to post code snippets. Of course, I'm not the only one looking for such a feature. It's somehow amazing that blogger doesn't offer better support for this.

But tonight, I discovered Alex Gorbatchev's SyntaxHighligher which seems to be what I was looking for. I googled a bit more and found this HOWTO: post code (thanks gPowered.net). A few minutes later, the SyntaxHighlighter library was uploaded and my blogger template updated to enable it.

Let's try it now with a classical HelloWorld sample :

 
 /**
  * The HelloWorld class is an application that
  * displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
  */
  public class HelloWorld {

     // Display "Hello World!"
     public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
     }
  } 

So, how does it looks like ?

Oh, by the way, Thomas Walloschke created a neat extension for Apache configuration files. Nice. I might use his "brush" too.
