in thread Code Highlighting in the code tag

Using <code> tags in your post doesn't actually put a <code> tag in the html output when you view it (check the source). One of the reasons I suggested it is because there's already some kind of magick going on with <code> tags, so I figured that it might be as easy as putting in a sub for the code highlighting along with $code = highlight_code($code) if $user_prefs{'wants_highlighting'} in the bit that deals with the code. (Dammit! I've got <code> on the brain now after using it 16 times in this post. :-)
