Hm, I'll whip something up and post back here when it's ready (hopefully in the next hour).
====================
UPDATE: It's taking a little longer since I'd like to get some really slick syntax highlighting going. It's 3:25 am and I'm still recovering from a cold so I'm going to call it a night, but expect an update on the Posterous blog tomorrow: http://blog.posterous.com
====================
UPDATE 2: I couldn't sleep, so I kept working on it. I've just popped an early version of it live for you to try out. All you have to do is surround your code block with the following tags:
[code]
your code here
[/code]
Additionally, if you want to get fancy, you can specify a language with the following syntax:
[code lang='java']
public static boolean isAwesome = true;
[/code]
This should work for both through the web interface and through the email interface.
The available list of languages is:
'cpp', 'c', 'c++', 'c#', 'c-sharp', 'csharp', 'css', 'delphi', 'pascal', 'java', 'js', 'jscript', 'javascript', 'php', 'py', 'python', 'ruby', 'rails', 'ror', 'sql', 'vb', 'vb.net', 'xml', 'xhtml', 'xslt', 'html', 'xhtml'
Current known issues: HTML formatting might be a little spotty at the moment. Will be fixing asap. I also see some intermittent errors where the code isn't getting properly recognized.
Please report any bugs to me at garry@posterous.com. Thanks for all the support and ideas. Please do keep the feature ideas coming -- the best way to reach us is to email help@posterous.com, but voting up to the top of Hacker News works too. ;-)
does anybody know about a syntax highlighting web service which generates me full featured coloured html code, which can easily insert in my mail to posterous, so that is no server side stuff is needed?
