Ghink uses [Google Code Prettify][1] to render beautiful syntax highlighted code sections. Like this:

```
function bee(n) {
	var r=0;
	for(var i=0;i<n;i++) {
		r+=i^2;
	}
	return(r);
}
```

Languages are automatically identified.

To write code on a page use this syntax, as [explained here][2]:

> &#96;&#96;&#96;
> var code = 42;
> &#96;&#96;&#96;

You can also change the highlighter theme by setting the `prettify_theme` global variable. [See here][3] to know how.
