I tried a page on, but it didn't do the color highlighting, I need to see if there are some options that I need to set, etc. https://gist.github.com/53cc09788370d2acd21b https://gist.github.com/2c096e1576c128e12800 I dont have a problem generating any kind of html, or php, I prefer colored syntax similar to my screen captures. I really like the way Cocoa does the Midnight Color Theme. >> I got a really nasty note from some guy that hated the font I used.

When I started learning Cocoa I decided I would try to document what I learned from a beginner's perspective, in the hopes that it would help somebody else. After I had posted a few tutorials I began to notice that several hundred people had at least looked at the messages I posted on the different forums that kept counters, and the AwStats on my hosting service showed that I was getting 30,000 hits a month on my website, I was floored, I had no clue that anybody would even look at my stuff. It made me very happy that maybe some of this stuff was helping others. Anytime I posted the messages I always asked if possible for some feedback in order to help me make the tutorials more useful, but nobody ever said anything. I understand it takes effort to sit down and give feedback. Since I started doing this I have been more conscious to give others feedback on their efforts. I got three or four nice notes and one ugly one, but no real feedback As for the font, I happen to like it better that arial, helvetica, lucida, etc., but I will try to find another font that might be an alternative. > Comic Sans is a poor choice on several levels.
