Can anybody point me in the right direction as to how to implement the editor that opens up when I try to post an answer or type a new question ?

Also when displaying the replies how is the feature with syntax highlighting for the code snippets implemented ?

As far as I know, the Javascript based editor is a heavily modified version of WMD Markdown Editor.

Moving on to your second question. What server side language are you using? For example, in PHP Geshi is a popluar syntax highlighter. Although I personally have not worked with it.

  • I'm using Java(JSP and Servlets) on the server side. How do I integrate such a javascript based editor and the syntax highlighter? – armageddon11 Feb 26 '11 at 05:56
  • @armageddon11: I have no experience with Java. But, have a look at this SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/864688/where-can-i-find-a-syntax-highlighting-library-for-java – Russell Dias Feb 26 '11 at 06:16
  • No that does not solve my problem. Thanks for the effort though. – armageddon11 Feb 26 '11 at 06:31

Try the Editor control that comes with AJAX Control Tool kit
