Assuming you're not using wordpress as your blogging engine: 
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-syntax/screenshots/

I'd say check out the library http://code.google.com/p/syntaxhighlighter/ 
.

I've used the white list plugin 
http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/white_list/ 
   and added table, th, tr, and td tags to it.

Hi All,

I'm working on a new application that will need a blog.  The basics  
for creating a blog are well documented all over the web and are  
pretty easy and straightforward.  However, most of what you find is  
very simplistic - blog entries and comments just consisting of simple  
text, for example.  In my application, I will need to allow blog posts  
to have at least some HTML markup (e.g., links, unordered lists, and  
in particular images).  The same goes for blog comments.  Does anyone  
have any suggestions on how to go about doing this?  RedCloth would  
appear to be one alternative but my users aren't going to know Textile  
and there's no way I can expect them to learn it.  I need to balance  
my requirements with a healthy concern for cross site scripting (XSS)  
and I'm unsure how to proceed.  I'm very curious how sites like 
http://www.rubyinside.com 
  accomplish this.  I would greatly appreciate any advice!

Thanks, Ken
