1.1. Introduction

What does it do?

It adds a new content element which you can use to create highlighted code snippets on your page. It uses CSS to do the highlighting.

Requirements

It uses the PEAR Text Highlighter package from http://pear.php.net/package/Text_Highlighter. I chose this package because it can highlight:

1. CPP

2. CSS

3. DTD

4. HTML

5. JAVA

6. JAVASCRIPT

7. MYSQL

8. PHP

9. PERL

10. PYTHON

12. SQL

13. XML

14. DIFF
