Syntax Highlighter

Project Description
Syntax highlighter converts code text to HTML where common language elements are formatted using style sheet classes such that the coloring scheme can be switched or altered as simple as replacing a CSS file. The primary release ships as an extension for BlogEngine.NET.
See a sample of the supported CSS classes.
