thats a CSS styling issue, not php

 

examples:

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=css+%3Ccode%3E&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&source=hp&q=css%20style%20code%20block&pbx=1&oq=css%20style%20code&aq=1&aqi=g3g-m2&aql=&gs_sm=sc&gs_upl=5728l7491l0l9339l12l8l0l1l1l0l221l910l2.4.1l7l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.&fp=fa292ea85790151c&biw=1276&bih=684&pf=p&pdl=300

ok but how can I get that particular code which I want to put it in code snipet.

for example below is the whole blog

 

Here is we can out put string in php echo "Hello world";

 

So in above example I want to display "Here is how we can output string in php" normally but when it reaches to 'echo "Hello world"' then it must be put in code snippet. So how can I manage this behavior?

I believe that is the function you are looking for.
