C# text formatting in HTML

[ktstowell]

Hi Folks,

 

I'm trying to display some C# in a text area on my website that will maintain it's space and color formatting. I've used FireBug to analyze website that use this feature (like this one) and it's obvious a script is used to generate the formatting b/c i can't imagine somone writing a new <span> for every color change. Any have any good remedies for this, I've been google-ing for the better part of 3 hours with not much luck.

 

Any help appreciated,

 

here's a link to the site, w/ the source files in case you want to mess with them.

PHP has a built-in function to highlight a given string. I wouldn't imagine C# having the same I'm afraid, but you could look for a JavaScript solution such as:
