HTML help Code Formattiing

[ThePentiumGuy]

ok, im working on a page, www.geocities.com/adi8bz
and i want to copy and paste code and keep the formatting
in this forum u can do (VB) (/VB) but in HTML u cant do that

i want a white background with original code-style formatting..
how do i do that?

<pre style="background-color: white; color: black;">Dim neverSayCant As Boolean = True

[/code]

yeah but this is only black and white, i want certain things to be blue, like in the original format in other words, words like Dim and As would be blue... and if im gonna paste a massive amount of code, and i want to copy and paste, its gonna be a huge problem for me

You would have write a syntax highlighter system to achieve that.

When you copy and paste code from VS.NET to Word, formatting and colour is maintained. Maybe you could find a decent rtf-to-html converter and make use of it somehow, since pasting from Word to HTML gets hideous.

but how do you make it so that the background of the code is white. the colors available in word for the highlight are limited, i cant get white
btw, the background of my site is black, and i want the background of the text(or highlight of the text) to be white

ooh! when you press <Enter> in the HTML editor in VS.NET what happens is, it skips a line, i want it to go to the next line..

The one that we use here is written in PHP, so unless you are using PHP then it wouldnt make much sense to give you the code.
