<![CDATA[
-- css goes here
]]>
4. Add js references before </head> tag

<script src='http://syntaxhighlighter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Scripts/shCore.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script language='javascript'>
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.BloggerMode();
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');
</script>

6. Save the template.
7. Compose code and put it between


<pre name="code" class="csharp">
public void ExampleCSharpMethod()
{
this.foo1 = 5;
}
</pre>

<pre name="code" class="js">
var Jquery-JavaScriptExample= $("#item1");
</pre>

<pre name="code" class="php">
