What are the steps I need to take to add nice java code formatting to my blogger/blogspot blog?

Question

I'm looking for a sequence of steps to add java code formatting to my blogspot blog.

I'm really looking for a dummies guide - something so simple a cleaner could follow it if they found it on a piece of paper on the floor.

Answer 1

I use Google prettify script (StackOverflow uses it also), here you can find a good guide for using it with blogger:

• Source code high-light in Blogger

You have other alternatives like SyntaxHighlighter, here also you can find a guide to use it with blogger (or any other blogging software)

Answer 2

Take a look at Syntax Highlighter, also on google code, Java is one of the many supported languages
