Syntax highlighting in a textarea?

votes

I'm looking for a syntax highlighter tool that enables you to highlight selected code in a textarea, and to select the programming language. I would like to select code, then choose the language (java or ruby..).

I tried the ckeditor syntax highlighter plugin but didn't like it.
