tool to convert java code to HTML for wiki

U

usenetjb

anyone know of a tool that will take java code and format it into html.
think wiki for developers, so they need to be able to read the code
snippets in a readable format in the wiki (mediawiki)

thx

I do all the time. I render small bits of Java into HTML and longer
files into compressed serialised token files rendered by an Applet
that scrolls them.

Just cut and paste the code into the html page - and put <pre> tags around
the code.
wouldn't that work?

Sure would. E.G.

<html>
<body>
<pre>
....the source code..
</pre>
</body>
</html>

...Would be a valid page containing source code that would
retain the tabs, spacing and line breaks of the original.

Of course, Roedy does some nice transforms on the source to
highlight a variety of aspects of the code (keywords, method
exits, ..) more like an IDE would.

Not quite. You also need to replace some < with &lt;.

even simpler, in MediaWiki, just start each line with a space, then
everything is treated as code and formatted appropriately...

Use the wiki <verbatim> </verbatim> tags,
that will escape funny stuff ('<','>','&', etc.)

Except OFC you can't have "</verbatim>" in the text...
