This is the NEW syntax highlighter I’ve been working on. It extends any textarea, and adds syntax highlighting to it. The textarea is kept in the document, making it seamless to add this to any web form.

I’m still working on performance issues, and there are some strange bugs with most browsers besides Mozilla. I’ll probably release this as a firefox extension soon (allowing you, the user, to convert any textarea to a syntax highlighted one).

If you’re looking for the OLD syntax highlighting editor – the one that was a heavy, kludgy, 100% javascript abomination – I’ve gotten rid of it. Sorry.

Note: Yes, the above is in an iframe. No, it has nothing to do with the editor. It’s just easier to embed it in Wordpress that way. If you don’t believe me, check out the demo by itself and look at the clean codiness of it all.
