RE: Colouring [code][/code]
The problem I see in it is that not everyone will use it :-/ they will just keep using the normal [code] tags and theres no real way to "guess" what type of code it is.

My solution for the problem is a javascript based one

if you have greasemonkey installed you can use this
http://svn.thedt.net/scripts/GM/plussyntaxthighlighter.user.js

I think the problem with Greasemonkey was people used to think it's a security issue before realising it's quite hard to install a GM script.

I personally like this idea, though it might be simpler for the coders to make a program that they can download which generates BB code formatted code.


And as for "color" / "colour" - "color" is the way it was spelled when the Americans moved there, since then the English language has been bastardised by the Frenchn, so we have some dodgy spellings. Think "centre" (French) as opposed to "center" (how it sounds in English).
