Personally I like GeSHi: [qbnz.com ]
But Alex Gorbatchev SyntaxHighlighter is also really nice: [alexgorbatchev.com ]
Both are fairly easy to implement.

We have the perl Kate syntax highlighter system already embedded. We have only to announce it.
example
[webmasterworld.com...]
cpan
[search.cpan.org...]

Excellent! Looks like it can do most languages to boot...

Code is always problematic - especially as the "code" tag only gets the first line in a code block, and that leaves quotes as about the next best option.
Not sure if I would like automated code highlight - css / html forums often get lots of massive code dumps, and automated highlighting may possibly exacerbate the visual "clutter".
I like the suggestion of line-numbering. Better implementation of the code tag would be great. The ability to manually colour lines/comments was a great tool, but I noticed it wasn't available when I tried to use it a few days ago.

well, thats good. It is really good to have that one, too emphasize codes with errors, and easy to point out what is the problem of the code.

Resounding YES!
Personally, I would help out more often if I could make sense of what people are trying to achieve. Syntax highlighting (and preformatting?) would help a lot in that respect.

I absolutely love how the Sitepoint forums handle syntax highlighting:
Numbered lines
Code in a scrolling <div> of a consistent height/width
VERY nice and clear coloring
Proper handling of tabs and spaces.

It would also be nice to be able to keep track of the indentation of code!

I can't agree with andrewsmd more. Syntax highlighting is nice, but to me, code indentation is a must.

True
As per 'syntax highlighting', folding would be nice :)
Here's another vote for indentation

The syntax highlight will have a line limit. We are not going to become a code dump forum...

AndrewsMD,

Definitely, lots of times I have been caught out using the tab, then realising I have stopped entering text!

Well if it is, I cant see it?! - I'll keep looking...

@Brett_Tabke, please ensure that the line limit isn't too restrictive as someone may be helping by publishing a batch of code to solve a problem and having it on the post will make it easier for someone else to come and use that same batch of code at a later date.
This feature would be a huge plus for the site!

The [ code ] BBcode should be visually separated from regular text as the [ quote ] BBcode is preferably with a slightly shaded background color and a border.
Syntax highlighting is okay though I'd really appreciate it if my indenting was retained. Granted this is a double edged sword as I indent only one space keeping my code readable while people indent using tabs and multiple tabs at that! So I think replacing tabs with a single space would greatly reduce the clutter.
function 1()
{
if (2)
{
if (3)
{
}
}
}
I format function brackets to not be spaced however the first nested brackets I use a single space, the second two, third three, etc.
