 Coloured Source Code for blogs 

If you noticed my previous blogs, Log4j source codes are a plain text with no highlighting of reserved words or like the way it is shown in any of your beloved IDE.

The way I did it previously is to directly use html.

Create a table with the grey coloured background and just paste the source codes in.

I tried to make it looked similar as any Sun’s java sample code. Black text on a grey background.

Something like this :

Ultimately I still prefer the coloured way of IDE-like this:

public class ColourCoderSample {

    /** Creates a new instance of ColourCoderSample */

    public ColourCoderSample() {

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.out.println("Test message");

    }

}

It’s done through a webpage by shinder lin with a modified tool from Jasper Bedaux.

The colour is for C++ but it can be modified to suit your liking.
