It's a really easy "SyntaxHighlighter for Blogger" tutorial with screenshots and everything.
You should be up and running in only a few minutes.
Also, the tutorial is built around the "new interface" you're referring to.
Hope this helps. Happy coding.
Solution 3:
Depending on your template, the SyntaxHighlighter JavaScript code may run before the content has loaded. In that case, changing the code to run after a short timeout should fix the problem. Try this in the <head> of your template HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.setTimeout(function() {
SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
}, 10);
</script>
You can add further customisation of defaults before the call to ScriptHighlighter.all().
If you want to customise the look and feel of the SyntaxHighlighter code display, add some CSS like this:
.syntaxhighlighter code {
font-family: Consolas !important;
font-size: 10px !important;
}
The !important is necessary to override the SyntaxHighlighter theme definitions.
