Code markup in Tech blogging
Posted on October 14, 2008
Anybody who knows a good tool for tech blogging – especially for making code markup?
Often it is necessary to include a peace of code in this blog, but the result looks awful. The only posible way to make some kind of format is to encapsulate the code in <code> blocks. An alternative way is to use some of the tools avaliable on the net (e.g. http://delphi.fosdal.com/2008/07/source-code-highlighting-in-blogger.html) but that requires a lot of cut/paste.
I just want a simple windows application that supports rich text and pasting of code. Somebody must have made this!
Any suggestions?

Today MSDN Magazine, october 2008 arrived in my mailbox. On page 12, in the Toolbox article, several diferent tools for colorcoding source is mentioned. My favorite is this one:

Its a plugin to Visual Studio that integrates into the context menu, providing a “Copy as HTML” link.
