@Adam sounds like a GeSHI issue to me. However, feel free to take a look at the cfm.php and see if you can spot anything.

Neil, it seems to have a problem with tags nested inside CF comments, and comments that exceed one line. See the **2nd code listing** here: http://tuttletree.com/nerdblog/?p=62

In particular, notice that the comment that begins on line 1 appears to get wrapped and have an extra visible line before line 2 of the code; and that the comment style isn’t applied all the way until the —> – just until the end of the current line.

Then look at line 33 of the same code listing. The self-closing tag (“”) appears to be ending the comment style, and I’m pretty sure it’s forcing the line to wrap. (That is, that even if the text didn’t fill the line, it would wrap after the />)

Is this something that can be adjusted in your cfm.php file? If it is and you’re not interested in fixing it, I’ll be happy to take a look, but I don’t know much about geshi yet, so I thought I’d ask you.

I’ve updated the link to a .zip, there appears to be an issue with downloading .php’s.

@Anuj yup, just drop it in.

Thats neat. I use Geshi in my Wordpress powered blog and I spent a lot of time looking for this particular thing. So do I just drop it in the plugins/geshi folder?
