I'm in the process of building a website where people can submit articles and such. As part of the "enhancements" we are trying to do is color coding code peices. I'm trying to use highlight_string since that seems to already to the functionality I need. However, I'm having a bit of a problem with it.
If I pass it a piece of code that uses double-quites " for the string, it turns on the right color, but never seems to turn it off.....If we use single quoes ' it comes out OK.
What gives? Any clues?

For some reason, it had to do with the quotes not being properly escaped....
We've since found a work around, but here's what the original results was like:

how ever, our work around resulted in yet another problem in which things are being replaced when they shouldn't be....l

The sample code in the second example should have \\ where it shows \, and \\\\ where it shows \\.... it's all very wierd and confusing.
