   I'm looking for a plug in that allows me to enter HTML code and allows others to actually see and copy that HTML code in a little box.

   The best example I can give would be those MySpace graphics code boxes. They usually have some cute glittery picture and blow is a box that tells you to copy the code and paste it on to your friends page - you know the what I'm talking about?

   I have code I want to allow people to copy and paste, but I don't know what the plugin would be called.

   Obviously the < code > tag is not it! lOl

   Try this search in the codex: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=code+highlighter

   ... or you may have more interesting resulting googling "code highlighter" as well.

   Hope that gives you some ideas ...

   You're welcome. I've been reviewing some myself lately. I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with.

   Actually, it's not going well.
   I'm looking for a plug in that will do this:

   I need the box to be that small, no matter the amount of code.
   The problem is, I can't get find the plug in to do it.

   The plug ins just display the code in a huge box.
   Worse yet, word press removes part of the tag when it saves it. So I may type < pre lang = "html" >, but wordpress removes lang = "html"
   Which is probably why the plug in fails to work.

   This is the only plug in I've found that shows that little code box: http://blog.kno.at/tools/highlight-source-pro/

   If I can't find a plug in that shows that little box, then my next option is to find a plug in that forces excerpt's on the homepage and the category listings.

   I would like people to land on the home page (or within a category) and see image after image and the least amount of code as possible.
