Blogging about mark-up is difficult, I often try to do it with mixed success.  I've been using Word to transfer the colorized mark-up from VS.NET into my blog but, often it will complain about Word's xml formatting.  The new “Word Clean“ function in the .Text blog admin tool not only removes the errant xml metadata but, oftentimes it will remove all coloring!

A good way to add colorized markup to a blog post is to use the MarkItUp.com mark-up colorizer:

Paste raw mark-up into the Textbox and press “MarkItUp”.  Checking the checkbox will force the tool to attempt attribute colorization.  Once the mark-up has been colorized just copy and paste the result into the blogging tool.
