 * Hello,
    I think I tried all existing code highlight plugins but with all of them
   I have the same problem:
 * php code like this is parsed by WP 2.04 as html and not als highlighted code:
 * `
    foreach ($parent_array as $pkey => $pval) { if (!empty($pval['count'])) { 
   $menu .= " <li><a>".$pval['label']."</a></li> n"; } else { $menu .= " <li><a>".
   $pval['label']."</a></li> n"; } } EDIT: check this [image](http://picasaweb.google.com/olaf.lederer/MySharedPictures/photo#4989196510364696594)
   that shows the code, Why? because I have the problem at this blog too!
 * the problems are with list items which are becomming list items other PHP code
   is parsed well (never has this problem in regular php powered websites).
 * Which WP filter need be changed? (without loosing protection)?

   coloring ? and why is teh href attribute changed into xhref?

 * Hello,
 * is there no one with this problem?
    It looks to me that this is a 2.04 problem…

 * The majority of WP users are not interested in posting code.
    If you think it’s
   a genuine bug – this is the place to report it: [http://trac.wordpress.org/](http://trac.wordpress.org/)

 * Hello Moshu,
    I don’t wanna post code but want to comment code in my blogs.
 * So if I need to parse code in my blog site I need to use a diff. blog software?
 * Edit: by the way its possible to post code via the wordpress hosted blog site…
