Everyone know what a pain it is to post source code to a blog and having the source code formatted correctly. Wel, Norbert Eder at dotnet-blog created a source formatter plug-in for Windows live writer. It works great and all you need to do is download the plugin and copy it to the plugins-directory of your Windows Live Writer installation.

The plugin supports the following languages:

• C#
• Java
• JavaScript
• MSH
• Perl
• T-SQL
• Visual Basic

This is how some code appears on my blog:

[ Initialize() ]
public void Setup()
{
    mock = new Mockery();
    persist = mock.NewMock( typeof( IPersistance ) ) as IPersistance;
    customer = new Customer( 123 );
}
[Cleanup()]
public void Cleanup()
{
    mock.VerifyAllExpectationsHaveBeenMet();
}

[ Specification() ]
public void ShouldLoadCustomer()
{
    object[] param = new object[] { 123 };
    Expect.Once.On( persist ).Method( "Load" ).WithAnyArguments().Will( Return.Value( customer ) );
    Customer expectedCustomer = persist.Load( 123 ) as Customer;
    Specify.That(expectedCustomer.Id).Must.Not.Be.Null("The Customer Id must not be null.");
    Specify.That(expectedCustomer.Id).Must.Equal(123, "The customer id's aren't equal");
}

You can find the download for the formatter here.
