Write ruby code on a blog

Hi,

Anyone got any ideas on how to easily write and correctly display
(with syntax highlighting) Ruby code on a blog?

Regards,

In the past I've done this using Vim. Vim has a command called
something like TOhtml, which will take the displayed file (such as
ruby code) and generate an html file that displays the code with the
same syntax coloring that Vim itself displays the code in. I've done
this manually by loading the desired file into Vim, executing the
command, then saving the resulting file to an .html file, but I
wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to automate it.

You could run it through CodeRay which is a Syntax Highlighter written in Ruby.

If you use TextMate as your editor, you can convert your code to syntax highlighted HTML using the "Create HTML From Document" command in the "TextMate" bundle.

If you're using wordpress check out wp-syntax, it supports a wide variety of
languages using GeSHI (generic syntax highlighting)
