I've been working on implementing Google Code Prettify and finally got it to work correctly. You can see my test file here to see what it looks like. I worked from a template and tried to improve it.
There is a lot of HTML boilerplate code that apparently is needed (mostly JavaScript links). I tried to remove some of them to reduce clutter but it broke every time, so I left it all in from the template. For reference:

I tried to make the template in a way that is simple to use. Please do note I have no control at all over the CSS class names (like .str, .kwd, etc.) those are what Prettify uses and if you change them it breaks everything, unless you go and change all the JavaScript files that reference those classes.
PS: There appear to be a few merge conflicts in the linked file. Please disregard them. I removed them in the code block below.Conflicts have been resolved.
