PHP does automatic syntax highlighting:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.highlight-string.php

In PHP 4, it's with <font color="..."> tags, and in PHP 5, it's <span  
style="color: ..."> tags.  I'm currently running the output from PHP  
through a function to convert it to the PHP 5 version, and I'll try  
to change it later today to instead convert it to semantic tags.  I  
think this would open up a lot of interesting possibilities.

Peace,
