I have a blog on blogger.com and would like to format my code example in my post.
What do I need to use to format the code snippet in my blog post?
In your Blogger dashboard, click Layout and then click the Add a Gadget link in the sidebar area. Choose the HTML/Javascript gadget from the list and paste your inline code into the widget.
This is quick and easy to do using a tool like: http://htmlencode.net/ Use <pre><code> tags to surround your code. For the <pre> tag you can optionally add class=”line-numbers”. This will add line numbers to your code and these line numbers will not be copied if students copy and paste snippets.
Here is a Blogger.com blog with a tutorial post on how to do it Syntax Highlighting with Blogger Engine Either try using Hilite for converting the code to embedable one or use Gist - this would be the easiest solution.
If by any chance it's outdated solution for your needs then read this: Formatting code snippets for blogging on Blogger
Add syntax highlighter in your template just above the tag:

And then just add the code snippet.
