Code Formatter: insert/format source code
Posted by Cynthia August 26, 2006
Every source code formatting plugin has its own strong points. Makes it hard to choose.
Code Formatter’s strong points are its double Insert options: Insert Clipboard as Code and Insert Formatted Code.
Once the code is in the post a properties bar opens up from where you can pick the language.
Code Formatter supports 14 languages out of the box: batchfile, C#, CSS, HTML, INI file, Java, JScript, Perl, PHP, Python, SQL, VB.NET, VB Script and XML.

Great little formatter.
See my blog entry for some of the issues I found with it.

I think the fixes should be fairly simple now that you know how to use the control.
I have tried to use word as a formatter but it doesn’t generate correct styles for most blogs. This control looks like it does a much better job.
