I use Google Prettify to display mainly HTML, CSS and JavaScript code, that is after all what goes into a website. This however, can be a bit of a problem.
I feel like I’ve been writing this section for ages. You would think there would be hundreds of websites that explained clearly how to do this sort of thing — buggered if I could find ’em though.
After all I’ve written on this subject, this is probably the most useful bit, I just show you how to do it. You get a screen shot, the HTML and a few words for each of the following:
HTML without numbers and no text wrapping (horizontal scrollbars)
HTML with numbers and text wrapping (no scrollbars)
HTML with false numbering and no text wrapping (horizontal scroll bar)
HTML with a fixed height fragment (vertical and horizontal scrolling)
CSS with numbers and no text wrapping
ANSI C
VB
HTML Simple single line code fragment
HTML Simple multi-line fragment
HTML Inline fragment
That should cover it.
