Now that this blog has accumulated a few posts with code—either Python or SVG—that is intended to be copied by the user, it would be nice to find a more clear and convenient way to present it. I would prefer to learn the necessary markup on my own—I already added buttons to highlight and automatically copy code to the Clipboard—but I'm curious to see how a dedicated service does it. One option is Prism for syntax highlighting and line numbering and GoFile for free hosting of the prism.css and prism.js CDN files (and perhaps the SVG files as well).
