Dear Rubies,

Did any of you try to use the beautiful Code Highlighter Plugin by  
Sean C. in a post that uses the textile filter? The result I get  
is ruby code converted into div’s and span’s, so it is converted to  
HTML it seems, but it is rendered as HTML code in plain text. I tried  
Markdown which is giving me this strange behavior…

Any clues?

Kind regards,  
Robert.

I had the same problem, I don’t remember if I was able to solve it. I  
think  
I kept using HTML for the pages that needed code.

I won’t take credit for the code highlighter plugin, although it is  
beautiful. Tom de Grunt and John L. can be credited for that. In  
most of my pages with \<r:code\> blocks, yes I’ve had to use plain HTML.  
There are a few places where you can get away with using Textile,  
especially if your code doesn’t include any angle brackets (\< \>). I  
found indenting things two spaces helps out Textile a lot, but it  
doesn’t always solve everything. My biggest problem with it was  
especially when I was trying to put Radius code inside an \<r:code\>  
block… doesn’t exactly work. Maybe we’ll get a tag.contents call one  
of these days ;).
