Please add DIV style alongwith a "autoflow:auto ". This causes the scrollbars to be turned on whenever the textflow exceeds the DIV size. This could be toggled on the cofig dialog.

Yo, wrote up a little review on my blog: (http://moving2thailand.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!ECD68E8F677B8C7!409.entry?_c11_blogpart_blogpart=blogview&_c=blogpart#permalink)

Love the plugin. I don't know enough about the underlying Live Spaces problem that prevented nearly every single other plugin from working correctly, but your plugin has the nicest interface I've yet seen, so I'd keep using it despite that. Feature wish list:
1) let me choose the color used for the line number text (I think it defaults to teal or something)
2) have an option to apply background color to every odd line, which can sometimes enhance readability for very dense code snippets.
Thanks!!

Downloaded and reviewing code.

Steve did a lot of excellent work in the design and implementation of this plugin. It would be nice to see it get extended to include DIV support, background coor support and a copy button to grab code with proper line breaks.

I have many projects already but will look into the difficulty of diong one or all of these.

If anyone has any wishes they shuold post them here or on issue page.
