[FM Discuss] code highlighting

[Luka Frelih]

hello!

i presume we're using this: http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/

so basically, you want to:
- drop the linenums class on the code block
- declare prettify css with media=screen
- amend said css with a better theme that has white background and no zebra

http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styles/index.html

i think it would then work as james specified.

i guess with cmyk printing one might like the colors in the book too.
agree color text printed in black and white reads very poorly indeed.

btw, looking at the newscoop example, for the site it could be much 
nicer to just let the pre block expand in width as required, to avoid 
many wrapping lines. and hopefully in a book there'll be a few more 
letters available per line...

best,
LF
