Currently, code highlighting is turned off (see [balpha][1]'s comment [here][2]). It is possible to turn it on, if we want so. I think this would be nice to have, maybe on a per-tag basis, but turning it on is definitely the first step. Because it is disabled site-wide, we can't force it by manually specifying the language as [described here][3]. **Caution**: This vote is not about wether or not we should enable it automatically when a certain tag is used, it's wether or not we should enable code highlighting on the site. Upvote the according answer below. **Update**: I think it's pretty clear where this is going. Can anyone do this change?
