I use Jeff Atwood's Visual Studio macro. Sometimes I need to document code in a language that Visual Studio does not support so I use Wilco Bau's Syntax Highlighter which I found used by the QuickStarts Source Control Viewer for ASP.NET 2.0. My third choice is Highlight 2.6.2, an obscure open source code highlighter. However, I am out of luck for RPG II because nothing will highlight that miserably cryptic programming language.

I used it in my tool Tech Head Brothers Authoring, www.codeplex.com/THBAuthoring, it is based on RTF that VS 05 put into the clipboard when you make a copy, but it seems that it doesn't work anymore under VS 08 RC.

Because you will have viewers with JavaScript disabled (and all RSS readers).  However, there's a fairly good chance none of them will have HTML disabled.
