Format Eclipse code snippets for blog publishing?

Question

Visual Studio has a plugin that allows one to copy code from any editor (C#, HTML, XML) and then paste it with HTML formatting that preserves the syntax highlighting, etc.

This is very handy for publishing code samples/examples to a wep page/blog. I have seen one old (2006?) plugin for java to html conversion, but are there any broader solutions similar to the Visual studio plugin.

Really what I am looking for is a way to select and copy a syntax-colored block of text in Eclipse and paste it as formatted html+css.

Does such a thing exist?

Answer 1

Although I don't know of such plug-ins, but generally pasting the syntax-highlighted text into Word or OpenOffice maintains its formatting, so using their HTML export (possibly the one of OpenOffice is useful here, as it provides simpler result, AFAIK).

Answer 2

Eclipse based solutions

Use the Java2Html plugin (this is maybe the plugin you were referring to):

This tool converts Java source code to HTML, XHTML and LaTeX with syntax highlighting.

There is also the CodeSnippet plugin:

CodeSnippet is a set of Eclipse plug-ins to convert Ant, Java, Properties, CSS, DTD, HTML, and XML source code (complete files or snippets) to HTML with syntax highlighting

Non Eclipse based
