Solution
consider using gist.github.com
some benefits:
- you can copy and paste the syntax highlighted code into gmail
- (its not always perfect but gets the job done, see screenshot below)
- snippet(s) can be shared with a hyperlink (also bookmarkable)
- you don't need an account to share code snippets
- code can still be kept private and is only shared with those have the secret link
- you can specify the language or snippet type, or even multiple snippets on a single page
- each lang can be specified with github flavored markdown
- you can also access historical changes of the snippet making it easy to track revisions over time
Problem
I sent my code to my friend over Gmail but as you guess, the code is not highlighted in Gmail. Is there solution to highlight code that is sent over Gmail?
