Hello,

The forums can use the GeSHi syntax highlighter for code blocks, but this is not documented here or in the FAQs if i'm not mistaken.

Here is what i found which works:

<code type="some_language">
Your code here
</code>

Python and CSS work, but HTML doesn't (or i didn't find the right keyword). It would be nice to have a list of supported/activated filters. ;)
My guess is that this implementation is actually Drupal's GeSHi Filter module:
http://drupal.org/project/geshifilter

For HTML, and some other pieces of code, you still have to replace instances of < and > (and possibly &) with &lt;, &gt; and &amp;.

Have a look at this. You are

Have a look at this. You are right, it does use Geshi.
