Code formatter

I started this morning looking for a code formater for blogger and I found;

http://formatmysourcecode.blogspot.com/

It was nice but there were no color coding options for the code. I dug further and found the following;

http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/

Which is great for c#, vb.net and t-sql, but it isn't blogger friendly (didn't generate all the CSS inline).

What I have done for this site is to use the ideal of blogger friendly code formating from http://formatmysourcecode.blogspot.com/ and merge it with http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/.

Another problem was that whilst I had now worked out how to generate the right look and feel for .NET / SQL, I didn't have a JavaScript formater. I found http://www.felgall.com/jsformat.htm, which is great but again I have had to combine this formater with the idea of the http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/

So after all the messing around I have downloaded http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/ source code and will be adding the following functionality;

  • Blogger friendly formatting
  • JS formatting
  • CSS formatting

As soon as its completed I'll post in on my Portfolio site (http://www.carlbruiners.co.uk) for you all to download and use.
