How to display and present sample code on a website.
We present 3 solutions.Editor's note: We have a preference for Prims.

1) Prism
Highlighter lightweight and extensible syntax, designed to meet the modern web standards. It is used in thousands of websites, including some of those you visit daily.How to install?
Select and download items desired configuration on site. 2 files are received, to JavaScripts to CSS. Stored on the server in your website folder. For javaScript, indicated in your web page between <head> and </head> the way or find code.<script type='text/javascript' src='/js/prism.js'></script>
Looks like Prism.js
Add the CSS code for that class must be defined in your config file CSS.

Line Numbering
To display line numbers, an additional file prism-line-numbers.js will add javaScript file and add the file path in the configuration of your Web page.

How to view the code?
Declare the language you want to display by changing the class line of code 1 (this changes the highlight colors depending on the selected code): class=”language-js class=”language-php class=”language-html<pre class="line-numbers"><code class="language-html">
Le code ici à déposer que vous souhaitez montrez aux internautes...!
</code></pre>
Showing entitées
Small negative side of Prism:
The display of the code n & rsquo; is not native.
You are forced to use the characters ASII (HTML entities) to display your code correctly.
find a page the definition of each entity.
A repetitive use promises a heavy task.practical advice:
To simply, use your editor to view the edit text faster with computer syntax.
Example : With Dreamweaver
Paste your text in the part creation.
In Part code edit your text displays the same text with HTML entities

2) Codemirror
One other most advanced operating in the design that can be changed by the user. The code display themes can be changed for better reading. Some difficulties for a novice to install. We explain in detail how to do. 3 steps required for display 1) Enter the path of the CSS themes. 2) Create drop-down button. 3) Paste JavaScript to display. 4) Paste the code you want to display.IMPORTANT NOTE : For each new code display you will need to change the ID of each frame in the script not to confuse the time of loading of the page and reading scripts. See explanation below. Editor's note: in order to overcome the automatic reloading we add an event on Onchange to change all resources at once. >>Onchange=”javascript:location.reload()”<<SELECT COLOR DISPLAYSelect a theme:
CSS et JS
Pour commencer, renseigner le chemin des class Css et Javascript en haut de votre page.
Combo BUTTON
PASTE THE SCRIPT TO DISPLAY YOUR TEXT
NEGATIVE POINTVous êtes obligé pour chaque cadre de modifier l'ID de textarea (Le même texte serait répéter). 2 ligne doivent être spécifié à la place de NOUVEAU NOM, insérer un mot que vous aurez choisi (Les deux doivent être identique)

3) SyntaxHighlighter

May I simply say what a relief to discover someone that
really understands what they are discussing over the internet.
You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
