    Default Syntax highlighting

    Hello all, long time no see.

    Having returned to the forums after a long time, I'm noticing most of the posts using the colourless code block tags, as I assume it is the default [code] tag. I can not speak for everyone, but when there is a lot of code to trawl through with some terrible indenting, reading a wall of black text is hard.

    I'd like to just put it out there that I'd love it if [highlight=Java] could be the default tags on the editor, or the default behaviour for [code]

    Cheers.


    System.out.println("Pick me!");
    System.out.println("Let me die... pleeeease");
    Please use [highlight=Java]//code goes here...[/highlight] tags when posting your code
