We've now updated the syntax highlighting here on the forums. We've also tweaked the IFCodes to try and clarify which should be used for what. The revised list of tags are as follows:
[ code ] - Will default to SQL highlighting
[ code ="sql" ] - SQL highlighting
[ code ="xml" ] - XML highlighting
[ cpde="vb" ] - VB highlighting
[ code ="other" ] - Any other code you'd like highlighted. This option relies on the highlighter to determine the language, so YMMV. As we're using Google Code Prettify, you can find more details on the supported languages here
[ code ="plain" ] - This option just provides a fixed font, for when you don't want syntax highlighting, or the "other" option is not satisfactory.
I've updated the IFCode Shortcuts, so the new Codes should appear in the list when you're composing a post.
Here are some (pretty vanilla) examples from me, using the new Codes:
Using [ code ]:
SELECT *
FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerId = 123456
Using [ code="sql" ]
SELECT *
FROM Customers
WHERE CustomerId = 123456
Using [ code="xml" ]
<xml>
<customer id="123456">
<name>John Doe</name>
</customer>
</xml>
Using [ code="vb" ]
Imports System
Class [class]
Shared Sub [shared](ByVal [boolean] As Boolean)
If [boolean] Then
Console.WriteLine("true")
Else
Console.WriteLine("false")
End If
End Sub
End Class
Module [module]
Sub Main()
[class].[shared](True)
' This prints out: ".
Console.WriteLine("""")
' This prints out: a"b.
Console.WriteLine("a""b")
' This prints out: a.
Console.WriteLine("a"c)
' This prints out: ".
Console.WriteLine(""""c)
End Sub
End Module
Dim d As Date
d = # 8/23/1970 3:45:39AM #
d = # 8/23/1970 #
d = # 3:45:39AM #
d = # 3:45:39 #
d = # 13:45:39 #
d = # 13:45:39PM #
Dim n As Float
n = (0.0, .99F, 1.0E-2D, 1.0E+3D, .5E4, 1E3R, 4D)
Dim i As Integer
i = (0, 123, 45L, &HA0I, &O177S)
Using [ code="other" ]
public class HelloWorld()
{
public static void main(string[] args)
{
Console.Writeline("Hello World!")
}
}
Using [ code="plain" ]
public class HelloWorld()
{
public static void main(string[] args)
{
Console.Writeline("Hello World!")
}
}
I've created this new thread (rather than post in this old one) so we can keep track of any issues/bugs with the new engine. If you run into any problems, please let us know by posting them here!
Thanks!

So [ code="vb" ] has been removed then? Wow, that's a bummer.
I have tried to replace it with [ code="other" ], unfortunately, "other" seems to mean C/C++/C#/Java or anything else that looks like C. It completely messes up the comment's for VB programs (because it treats them like a C/C++/C#/Java quotation mark). ... 🙁

I like that my tab indents don't go all wonky with the SQL one. Hadn't tried that option before, but noticed it on the bar and tried it a few days ago. Very nice.

What's really odd is that according to Goggle, this problem (VB comments) was fixed back in January.

Ben, there are a couple of minor things I need to watch for but I think the change is freakin' awesome! And, it's pretty fast, too! My hat is off to you and anyone else who may have brought this change to pass. No more wrapped lines. No more skipped blank lines. No more having to insert & # 160 ; to keep a blank line. No more posts that are a thousand miles wide. And, not only can I now use IFCode's within an SQL block to help drive a point home for someone, but the end of line markers actually work without first having to paste into WORD or whatever! YEEEEE-HAAAA!!!! You, Sir, have made me a [font="Arial Black"]very [/font]happy frequent poster. It's been a long time coming and I have to say "Well done!" and thank you, thank you, thank you!

If you wanted to extend it for VB / VB.NET / C# - then you might want to consider ActiPro CodeHighlighter - @ http://www.actiprosoftware.com/Products/DotNet/ASPNET/CodeHighlighter/Default.aspx.
Not sure if it's relevant to you or not, just thought I'd mention it because it's free and the quality of the their products is very high...

Hi Barry,
I've just added [ code="vb" ] 🙂
I've updated my original post with an example, but I'm not very familiar with VB, so if you could give it a try and let us know about any issues, that would be great!

Testing....
Using an inequality character
SELECT session_id FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE session_id > 50
Using escape codes for inequality
SELECT session_id FROM sys.dm_exec_requests WHERE session_id > 50
Using angle brackets to designate a placeholder
USE <Database Name>
Using escape codes to designate a placeholder
USE <Database Name>
Edit: Ok, can someone tell me the secret to posting angle brackets please?

Ah... got it. If you type the code in between the code markers, you get the & gt ; character representation. If you paste between the code markers from SSMS, it works just fine.

That doesn't really help me. I've got a fair few 'templates' that I have set up for quick insert via a firefox plugin. Cutting them to management studio and pasting back's time consuming.
Ben, can you maybe look into the < and > please. Should be able to type them in in code blocks.
More testing... Created one of my clippings by copying from SSMS...
DBCC CHECKDB (<Database Name>) WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS
directly pasted
DBCC CHECKDB (<Database Name>) WITH NO_INFOMSGS, ALL_ERRORMSGS
Forums don't like me evidentially....
Once more with feeling. Written in management studio, copy, paste
SELECT Something FROM SomeWhere WHERE Col1 <> Col2
🙁

SELECT <column list>; FROM <your table here>
SELECT <column>
Like this?
Edit: interesting, worked on preview - then gets modified as above.
