 * Hi,
 * I am making a blog that will contain tutorials on various things regarding web
   development. The information will be mainly about PHP, HTML and MySQL. What I
   need is to be able to show example code (PHP, HTML, etc) in a specially formatted
   way.
 * Take a look at this post:
    [http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread162818.html](http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread162818.html)
   and click on ‘Help with Code Tags’.
 * How can I add this functionality. I want to be able to write [code syntax="PHP"][/
   code] or something similar to this in posts that I do. I want the [code] sections
   to be formatted/highlighted like in the example above.
 * Can anybody help me?

 * look at those. I personally use code shield only as I don’t use any syntax highlighting.
   SyntaxHighighter Plus reads like it might be a good addition.
