I would like to be able to pull some code samples out of a database and/or have the text embedded into the website and then have the sample formatted in a code like fashion on the screen. While the text alone on the screen is great, the format will make it more user friendly. How is this done?
I want this:
public string MyString = "The Sample Text";
To look like:
public string MyString = "The Sample Text";
EDIT WITH ANSWER
I took Gortok's suggestion and looked into Prettify.js and its doing just what I had hoped. Here is how this is implemented.
<head runat="server">
<script src="Scripts/prettify.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="Scripts/prettify.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>
</head>
<body>
<code class="prettyprint">
public String HelloString = "New String";
</code>
<script language="javascript">
$().ready(function() {
prettyPrint();
});
</script>
</body>
