SyntaxHighlighter, (used by many of the above plugins), has a nasty bug at its core which causes it to get confused and incorrectly colorize the markup. I recently found the root cause of the bug and wrote about the correct fix here:

The author (Alex) is aware of the problem but has not yet released an official fix. Just thought you might be interested…

If you need to escape code yourself then you need this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/escape-html/stats/
I have written this as I need to do the escape everytime, I am using Google Syntax highlighter

I just tried wp-codebox, but I’m not happy with it. I’ll try your recommendation of Synthax Highlighter Plus, thanks for the post. It was very helpful.

*Edit: Sorry Chris, had to double post, your code tag isn’t working.

Chris, I’m having a problem with the syntax highlighters, and I’m hoping maybe you’ve come across something that might help:

when I use any of the highlighters, if I have this code:
[code]

[/code]

it parses and shows fine. But if I double it:
[code]

[/code]

The page fails to save, preview, or do anything. It redirects me to my 404 page. After some experimenting, I found out that it’s a combination of the semicolon and the echo keyword after it, that’s causing this. I tried using a fresh install of WP on the same server, the problem remains. I tried using this plugin on a localhost installation, it works fine. If I deactivate the plugin, the code shows up fine. Not highlighted, of course, but fine. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great post. Don’t think I’m a fan of Chili though, what is with the yellow popup box when you click on the code? Sometimes it’s even off the screen.

Will have to check out some of the other options soon.
