[FM Discuss] code highlighting

[adam]

so...the thing is if anyone wants to put code snippets in fm we can work 
with code highlights as it is implemented now. the printed (pdf) output 
will be black and white but I think it can be overridden with css put 
into the 'custom' css field when u export the manual to pdf.

anyways...there are not many that want this yet but for those that do 
this could be useful

if anyone wants to do this then they can ask me and i can help - its a 
little tricky but not too bad...later we make it easier...
