in thread Feature Request: Adding Colors to Source Code

For instance, HTML doesn't have semicolons at the end of most of the lines ...

There is a "view source" link on most of the pages on my web site. For CGIs, it shows you the perl source. The generated HTML might look something like this: 

<html>...
<tt>
use&nbsp;CGI::Carp&nbsp;qw&nbsp;(fatalsToBrowser);
<br>use&nbsp;strict;
<br>use&nbsp;warnings;
<br>use&nbsp;Data::Dumper;
<br>
<br>use&nbsp;IO::Capture::Stdout;
<br>use&nbsp;IO::Capture::Stderr;
<br>
<br>print&nbsp;"Content-type:&nbsp;text/html\n\n";
...

The view source program is, of course, just a CGI and so you can view its source too. But don't bother, it's awful code.
