<p>My co-founder is currently asking on our blog for an embeddable code widget.</p>

<p><a href="http://devver.net/blog/2008/10/someone-please-build-an-awesome-embeddable-code-widget/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://devver.net/blog/2008/10/someone-please-build-an-awesome-embeddable-code-widget/</a></p>

<p>Basically we want something like <a href="http://pastie.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://pastie.org/</a> or <a href="http://codepad.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://codepad.org/</a> but we really want to embed the code section in our blog. We know there are plugins for common blogs and server side solutions, but it would be great to be able to just embed a little javascript and have nicely formatted code anywhere...</p>

<p>Does something like this exist? Have we just missed it?</p>

I think you want a javascript syntax highlighter

Sometimes you just keep thinking in the wrong keywords ;-)
