Syntax Highlighting with RedCloth
After I implemented LaTeX rendering into my views, I was quite satisfied with how it came out. LaTeX can now be effortless inserted into a field that is textile enabled with very good results. But then I began to look at the code snippits and I realized how ugly they look when compared to the rest of the site. I did a quick web search for ways to incorporate syntax highlighting in Rails applications, but I wasn’t really satisfied with what I found. Then the solution smacked me in the face. Just extend RedCloth!
