# BB Code or Similar?

 * Hey all I am looking for a way to display code in my posts w/ proper formatting
   and ideally syntax highlighting (just like sticking code between [CODE] tags 
   usually does). Is there any addon for doing this type of thing or am I completely
   missing the fact that this is a built in feature?
 * Thanks!

 * No idea on if it does syntax highlighting. You might look at plugins aimed at
   that, though:

 * HandySolo — thank you very much for the suggestion — igsyntax-hiliter works great!
   Very customizable — easy to use “quick buttons” and nice display.
 * Thank you also to everyone else for their suggestions I really do appreciate 
   it!
