I'm a massive fan of using the particular monk's CSS to determine the hilighting... and providing a seperate option to enable it. (disabled by default)

Perhaps also providing a couple of default styles to get you started, a nice light-on-dark, a dark-on-light etc

even if it was just based on css, without an off switch

 .codeblock { 
    background-color: inherit!important;
    color:inherit!important;
}
[download]

and boom, the hilighting disappears... and it starts looking like normal text (black on white) Or you could even do something outragious and provide a real user stylesheet to your browser to over-ride these things...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
