Well, hot on the heels of the last new feature, I've added code hilighting to the blog - or at least, I think I have. To test it out, here's the overridden save() function for this blog.

  1. def save(self):

  2.     self.slug=slugify(self.title)

  3.     if not self.id:

  4.         self.pub_date=datetime.now()

  5.     self.text = markdown.markdown(self.source, ['codehilite'])

  6.     super(Post,self).save()

  7.     new_tag_list=[t for t in re.split('[\s,]+', self.tag_list) if t]

  8.     current_tags=list(self.tags.all())

  9.     for tag in current_tags:

  10.         if tag.title not in new_tag_list:

  11.             self.tags.remove(tag)

  12.     for tag_title in new_tag_list:

  13.         if tag_title not in [tag.title for tag in current_tags]:

  14.             tag, created=Tag.objects.get_or_create(title=tag_title)

  15.             self.tags.add(tag)

  16.     return
I'm using the python-markdown extension [codehilite](http://achinghead.com/markdown/codehilite/). Just to have some extra CSS to style, here is a part of the CSS theme for the code hilighting. 
  1. .codehilite

  2. { 

  3.   /* The source code snippet box */

  4.   color:#ccc;

  5.   background-color:#333;

  6. }

  7. /* self */

  8. .codehilite .bp { color:#9df;font-weight:bold;  }

  9. /* keywords: def, return, if, while, for. */

  10. .codehilite .k { color:#f99; font-weight:bold; }

  11. /* Variables */

  12. .codehilite .n { color:#ccc;  }

  13. /* Strings */

  14. .codehilite .s { color:#7b7;  }

  15. /* Bools: not, in */

  16. .codehilite .ow { color:#c66;  }
