I need to include source code snippets in my posts from time to time. As a new user of BlogSpot, I want to find a good code formatter/beautifier which can work in BlogSpot for free.
I came across Highlight and SyntaxHiligher.
I first tried Highlight.js. It tries to guess what language the code is in and then applies the highlighting accordingly. Sometimes, the guessing is wrong and you are left with some wierd highlights. It sort of works but the result is not so beautiful, considering it is a code beautifier. A Highlight.js output screenshot is shown below.

public int CountAddressReferences(Address.Domain.AddressField af) { int id=(int) af.GetAddressFieldId(); AddressModel.AddressField entity = addressContext.AddressField .Where(t => t.addressFieldId == id).First(); entity.Address.Load(); Console.WriteLine("before count=" + entity.Address.Count); addressContext.Detach(entity); // extra line addressContext.Attach(entity); // extra line entity.Address.Load(); // extra line Console.WriteLine("after count=" + entity.Address.Count); return entity.Address.Count }The choice is clear, I am sticking with Google

You can set the language using class the same way. Automatic language guessing is for the lazy ones :)
Thanks Dmytrii. I have not researched them for a while now because I have grown comfortable with SyntaxHilighter. Maybe I should keep looking for the best.
