CodeFormat: source code formatting for WLW

CodeFormatterInsertDialogvjdeedee from deedee.brainstream.net uses Windows Live Writer with DasBlog. In Windows Live Writer he missed DasBlog’s option to insert pre-formatted source code — so he wrote a plugin which handles it.

The tool is built upon the CsharpFormat .NET component.

Styling of the published source code is handled through a stylesheet which is editable via the options screen of CodeFormat.

Based on the properties of the CsharpFormat component, the CodeFormat plugin for Windows Live Writer handles C#, VB, HTML, XML, T-SQL or MSH (code name Monad).

A quick test with copy-and-paste PHP showed formatting will work for other languages as well but that in that case some of the code highlighting is missing. At that level though the plugin is still at the "good enough" level.
