How do I...Use the syntax highlighter for technical content?

To use the syntax highlighter, first make sure the appropriate extension is installed.  Then, use the "Formatted" format from the editor toolbar to create a <pre> section.  Type or paste in your source code into the <pre> section.  Now, click on "Transformations" and select the desired function (e.g. syntax.xml).  The transformation is only applied when the page is viewed.  So you will need to save the page to see the results.

Below are samples of the various syntax highlighter functions.

string url = "<a href=\"" + someObj.getUrl() + "\" target=\"_blank\">";

// single line comments
// second single line
override protected void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
	if(Attributes["class"] != null)
	{
		//_year.CssClass = _month.CssClass = _day.CssClass = Attributes["class"];
	}
	base.OnLoad(e);
}
