There are other good syntax highlighter plugins, but I wanted something simple and fast and 
be able to add the highlight classes with a select box in the TinyMCE editor.
I added some default languages: Javascript, PHP, Python, C, C#, VB.NET, SQL and CSS but you can 
easily add other ones.

<li><code>[sourcecode lang='css']code here[/sourcecode]</code></li>
