Howdy,

I just wrote up and submitted a tips and trick article for php zone (How to Continue to Pass Elements in a Multi-part Form).

While writing it up, I had some trouble with the WYSIWYG editor and getting the syntax highlighting to work properly.

The line of html showed up fine. However, I tried to highlight the php snippet, and nothing happened. I went into the source and fixed it up so that it was all wrapped in one pre tag with class "php," but it still showed up as plain text.

I eventually decided to highlight it as Ruby (got strings and variables highlighted anyway).

Just thought I'd raise the issue, in case you weren't aware of the problem.

I turned off the WYSIWYG editor in my profile and just enter the HTML.

Good idea. I hate the thing, but I wasn't sure there was a way to turn it off. I was looking for an option on the actual writing page... but now I found it in the profile section.

I saw another system with also used TinyMCE but had it in a tabbed interface with "plain text" in another tab next to the "wysiwyg" tab. I'd love it if we made plain text so obviously accessible.

There should be an option just below the text area. Did you eventually get it highlighted as PHP? I know we've had PHP code successfully put in, but we'll give it a check just to make sure.
