Create Code Editor Style in html

Question

I was wondering how to create Code Editor Style in html page like this one. http://www.tonymarston.net/php-mysql/databaseobjects.html

He has different colors for different variables and strings. He used <pre> and <span> to style but I am not sure if there are faster ways to do this. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot.

That particular guy seems to have done it by hand with html markup. There are also javascript libraries you can use that will do that all for you. — JakeParis

I haven't used it myself, but Stackoverflow uses Prettify (according to this question). It seems to have been built with only JavaScript and CSS.
