Hi,
I need to display code in my content. I have Rokpad but it seems its code highlighting function only pertains to the actual editing of content. I need to display highlighted code in the actual aritcles.
Is there any specific extension in the Rok collection that would allow me to do this? If not, could you perhaps point me in the right direction?
Thanks

By "highlight code" do you mean something along the lines of this:Or do you mean something more along the lines of a highlighter on a piece of paper, i.e. changing the background color of a span?
<?php code goes in here... ?>
Also, are you looking to make this functionality automatic, or are you just looking for a style that you can use? In other words, are you looking for a plugin that modifies specific content upon document rendering, or are you content with just using span and or div tags?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes. Something like your example. I found some documentation on RokCandy but to be honest with you I don't even know where to get started with it.
The only functionality that I need is for the plugin/mod to be able to display simple snippets of code. Preferably html, css and some js.
I must've tried at least 10 of them (codecitation, chilicode etc.) and couldn't find one that stayed true to its description.

Yeah, this is weird in the way it works with RokPad. You can use Codecitation, but you need to enter in the code highlighting part while in TinyMCE and then go back to the article and use RokPad for the rest.
It's sort of a pain, but it does work this way.
