Is it possible to provide Code highlighting on sites.google.com websites?

Is it possible to do Code Syntax highlighting on sites.google.com websites like the way we do it on Blogger.com or Wordpress.com开发者_如何学C?

Unfortunately there is until now no support for syntax highlighting within Google Sites. As a workaround you could use http://tohtml.com/ and enter your code there and copy the colored output (not the HTML) directly into your Google Sites page.

This works perfectly, as long as you don't need to edit large pieces of the code regularly.

I have tried creating a gadget myself with Google Code Prettify, and there were a few issues.

One is that classes aren't supported, so you will have to follow what Stack Overflow is doing to prettify. http://www.codingthewheel.com/archives/syntax-highlighting-stackoverflow-google-prettify

The other problem I faced was the interaction between the iframe and the parent frame. You will notice that there is a domain permission problem, and so you will be unable to access the parent.document from your iframe.

This should save some people a few hours of hacky testing.

Yes, you can! Just select the desired text, and go to "Formatting" -> "Code" OR "Block Code"

You can insert gadgets into Google Sites pages. You could create a gadget that did syntax highlighting using any number of open source javascript syntax highlighters.

Not an ideal solution but would get you what you want. Lemme know if you want further pointers.

I've found an alternative way.

If you use IntelliJ, just copy the code from the IntelliJ editor and paste it into your Google site text (not in html mode).

Works out-of-the-box!
