Example:
[highlight=c++]
bool WINAPI DllMain(HMODULE hModule, DWORD uReason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
if (uReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
//JUST A DLL
}
}
[/highlight]

I'm aware the color is kinda ugly, hopefully we will change those later.

Unable to select multiple lines =3

Works for me, need to get a copy swf.

Very nice, Been looking forward to this.

Test:

C (source as listed above to test)

[Highlight=c++]bool WINAPI DllMain(HMODULE hModule, DWORD uReason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
if (uReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
//JUST A DLL
}
}
[/highlight]

I think the strings may be off compared to whats in the list. I also need to get rid of that damn messagebox & use a default style when none are found.

This will kill messy source codes round here, nice

[highlight=vb]
Dim Cashmoney as integer = "5"
Msgbox (CashMoney)
[/highlight]

[highlight=c++]
bool WINAPI DllMain(HMODULE hModule, DWORD uReason, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
if (uReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
//JUST A DLL
}
}
[/highlight]

[highlight=c]
if(highlighting == fucking.awesome())
{
cout<<"hell yeah!";
}else{
GTFO();
}
[/highlight]

[Highlight=vbnet]
For i As integer = 0 to 5 'loooooooooooooooooooop
MsgBox("IM TESTING STRINGS")
Dim testVariable As String = ""
Next
[/Highlight]

Will not work

[highlight=vb]
For i As integer = 0 to 5 'loooooooooooooooooooop
MsgBox("IM TESTING STRINGS")
Dim testVariable As String = ""
Next
[/highlight]

That's how its done.

[/highlight=language_here][/highlight]
EDIT: well nvm NG already said this. Well my internet went out so Hmmph! I'm posting it anyway.

It is Highlight, Not Xcode

So [Highlight = lang] [/Highlight]

Just now we need a list of supported languages.

Yes, I also edited daves post to reflect the changes, just going to get the supported list off the vB plugin site and add it as well.

Another note, during this change for some reason, PHP Tags no longer work, so if you will use PHP tags, use Highlight = php

Another Note: (as a reminder because I seen jason did it originally)
VB Highlighting is different then vbnet highlighting

If you are writing vb6 or < or VBA/Vbscript code then use
highlight=vb , if you are using vb.net code, then use highlight=vbnet

So far applescript and html do not seem to work, it may as well be the argument "html" and "applescript" , however i'm not sure.

[highlight=php]'This is cool!'[/highlight]

Thanks dave!

Better for no Copy + Paste noobs.

Only if php worked..

[php]See!?[/php]

Thanks dave..

The VB syntax is a horrible color, both .net and vb

. I think I'll just keep using my syntax highlighter for now
