presenting code in documents.

Creamy Goodness

I have to stick some C code into documents (.doc files) and i hate the way it's all crappily idented and no syntax highlighted.

is there any plug-ins you can get for word/open office (preferrably word 2003) that will indent and syntax highlight portions of the document.

also i have a word press blog where i put some snippets of code as well, and would like to know if there's a similar thing, it's no big deal if there isn't for wordpress i can live without it, but there must be something for .doc files surely?

i've tried googling it, but as always i tend mess up the wording of the google query and end up not getting results which i expect.

Google Microsoft Word syntax highlighting seems to give a few good results. Or at least some good starts.

if you download dev C++ for windows (you might have it already), open the C file in it. Then you can export as a RTF file, which will give you a file which word can open. It will include the formatting + syntax colouring too.... it doesn't look too bad for reports etc..

thanks guys, will try these out when i get home, no access to a windows pc here at work :pac:

I'm not 100% sure with wordpress but in HTML wrapping in a <pre> tag will keep the indenting but not syntax highlighting.

I know wiki's and such have addons to do syntax highlighting so wordpress might have something like that too

edit : after a quick google for "wordpress code tag" http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Code_in_Your_Posts

cheers all i'm going to go down the dev c++ and export to rtf format. it's the least hassle solution

Does using the Courier font not do the job?
Edit: forget that it only addresses indenting, sloppy glance at op on my part.

Hi,

You can convert the code to farmatter html with this tool: http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeColorizer/

Then you can copy the formatted html into wordpress and word,

I use latex for most of my documents which has an excelent plugin called "listing" for displaying code and stuff

i was hmmming and hawing about whether or not to use latex for my document, but i thought the learning curve and the little time i had to finish this document that i'd be safer going with word.

i also found the using Xcode on OS X will preserve the syntax hightlighting when pasting into MS word on OS X, which is what i went for in the end because Xcode seems to hightlight C GTK+ code better than the rest.

Copy and paste from Eclipse keeps code highlighting.

If it's worth anything I was in the same position when I was doing my final year project report and I decided to abandon Word and use Latex. The learning curve wasn't huge and my supervisor helped me out a bit.

I found this tutorial pretty useful http://andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/ granted since I've started working I've been forced to learn how to use Word properly and work with styles etc which tends to make things a bit easier.
