WP-Syntax is the answer.

For example, this is how I highlight an iPhone’s Objective-C code in this post.

- (void)viewDidLoad   
{    
    [super viewDidLoad];    
    NSString *title = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"My %@ syntax", @"AWESOME"];    
    self.title = title;    
}

 
To use WP-Syntax, simply surround the code with <pre lang=”LANGUAGE”> and </pre>, where LANGUAGE is the programming language.

To find out what to use for LANGUAGE, look under supported languages here. ]]> http://blog.just2us.com/2010/05/how-to-highlight-code-syntax-in-wordpress/feed/ 1 http://blog.just2us.com/2010/03/what-to-do-if-wordpress-is-not-displaying-utf-8-correctly/ http://blog.just2us.com/2010/03/what-to-do-if-wordpress-is-not-displaying-utf-8-correctly/#comments Wed, 24 Mar 2010 17:51:37 +0000 samwize http://just2us.com/2010/03/what-to-do-if-wordpress-is-not-displaying-utf-8-correctly/

A while ago, this blog was not showing correctly some chinese (UTF-8) characters.

It was due to the WordPress that I have set up using a wrong character set. It was using latin1 instead of UTF-8.

To solve the problem, you could go to phpMyAdmin, and run the following SQLs.
Note: Change wrdp1 to your wordpress database name accordingly.

ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_comments CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_links CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_options CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_postmeta CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_posts CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_terms CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_term_relationships CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_term_taxonomy CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_usermeta CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
ALTER TABLE wrdp1.wp_users CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

The result should be like the table above.

But note that we are not able to recover any UTF-8 characters that were in a post before this operation. You would need to edit the post, enter the correct UTF-8, and save.
