Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about A Syntax Coloring Template Filter for Django, here is a quick summary:

I spent a bit of time this evening writing a template filter for Django that accepts a string of code (and optionally the name of the Pygments lexer to use for highlighting) and returns the code nicely syntax colored. A simple but slightly helpful addition to your templating arsenal.

Very nice. FYI for you. In my test, the code highlighting is correct, but the code block area highlighting only fully covers the table version with class="highlighttable". The non-table version has highlight classes but does not entirely highlight the code area. Also I did not find the css class entry for highlighttable anywhere. It appears that the table is capturing the highlight color correctly but somehow the code text otherwise escapes the highlight box when not enclosed in a table. I'm using Firefox 3.01 on Ubuntu Hardy Fluxbox window manager.
