Dick,

Have a look at Prettify JS - http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/

I've written a short blurb on getting it work with VB/VBA code - http://officeadd.in/code/prettify_js_-_syntax_highlighting.aspx

You're correct, Dick, see http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts

Although I couldn't say what the " lang="vb" " part would do.

I really like that I can use code tags with this. Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I get rid of this plug in, all my code will revert to normal code tag formatting, which is better than plain text.
