in thread Feature Request: Adding Colors to Source Code

If it was done once on the way into the DB (when a poster hits save) rather than everytime it is displayed it probably wouldn't be too much of a hit on the cpu, but that would still leave the problem of determining perl code blocks from other types of fixed pitch data,

    How difficult would it be to add <code type=perl> or <code type=html> and parse them differently? Or if it's only going to parse Perl then just have a flag to tell it that it is Perl.

    But I think it would have to be a one time parse as it's added to the DB because it would be just too taxing to parse every time code is displayed.
