Tests with code and syntax highlighting.

Hello, this is my first blog entry and i'm just testing how to add code.

• The 'Quote' option in the 'new Post' editor just indents the text block; one possibility is to change the font for the selected text block to e.g. Courier, a fixed width font, but of course there is no syntax highlighting.

There are some other solutions i found in the internet:

• SyntaxHighlighter. Looks good, but needs an additional webserver.
  Found it here in this blog: Fresh Espresso: Code Listings on Blogger
  edit: Author hosts it. Howto can be found here: Adding a Syntax Highlighter to your Blogger blog
• http://gist.github.com/. Easy. Paste code, copy link and done. Found that one here: Tips for software engineer: Syntax Highlighting on Blogger - Gist

Below a simple shellscript example with http://gist.github.com/. Just copy&paste your code there, get the 'embed code', paste into the blogger/blogspot html-editor, done.

	#!/bin/bash
	function pause(){
	read -p "$*"
	}
	pause 'Press enter to continue…'
