Source Code Highlighting: new section

New page

== Source Code Highlighting ==

I messed around with the sample code and came up with some basic highlighting that I thought made the code easier to read. This is a sample of what I would be changing the sample code to:

<div>
#include <openssl/obj_mac.h>
#include <openssl/ec.h>

/* Other things up here... */

EC_GROUP *curve;

if(NULL == (curve = EC_GROUP_new_by_curve_name(NID_secp224r1)))
handleErrors();
</div>

I have no strong feelings towards the specific colors, I just picked something I thought was simple and clean. By all means if you have a suggestion regarding the theme I'm all ears. As I said, the point of this change is to make the code easier to read, and since I know theme selection and taste are pretty arbitrary and some people might prefer the code as it is, I thought it best to leave the sample code on live as it was for now.
