One of the great things about RavenNuke™ is that it's easy to customize without an extensive knowledge of PHP or proprietary code. So as we build our site, we thought we would share how we achieved some of the customizations we needed. Being able to highlight code was one of our first needs, so we tried out several options.

GeSHi, Chili, prettify, Syntax Highlighter, and a few others where solid candidates; but in the end we decided on Highlight by software maniacs. Relatively easy to use with dynamic language detection, a nice selection of included themes, and it highlighted code within our forums more reliably than Chili or prettify.
