+title: now with code higlighting
+---
+
+I am a programmer and I like to write code and I like to talk about code. That's why this blog really needs some syntax highlighting for my favorite languages.
+
+With [jekyll][] as my static site generator it is easy to enable it. Just get the [kramdown][] library for [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) parsing and [coderay][] for the highlighting. Then enable both in your configuration.
+
+This is my current _[_config.yml](https://github.com/badboy/fnordig.de/blob/master/_config.yml)_:
+
+    paginate: 5
+    permalink: pretty
+    exclude: Rakefile
+    markdown: kramdown
+    kramdown:
+      use_coderay: true
+
+      coderay:
+        coderay_line_numbers:
+        coderay_tab_width: 2
+        coderay_css: class
+{:lang="yaml"}
+
+If you use `coderay_css: class` make sure to include a CSS file on your page (see my [coderay.css](/coderay.css)).
+
+Adding syntax-highlighted code in your post now works like this:
+
+        indent code by 4 spaces
+        even multi-line
+        and define language after code block
+    {:lang="ruby"}
+{:lang="text"}
+
+And now some real highlighting to show it in action:
+
+    module CodeRay
+      def about
+        [self.name.downcase, 'rocks!'].join(" ")
+      end
+      module_function :about
+    end
+{:lang="ruby"}
+
+And that's it.
