Stack Overflow formatting for Wordpress

Question

I've become so accustomed to stack overflow style formatting that I find it a hassle to format things manually in HTML anymore - specifically for blog posts.

Is there anything enabling stack overflow style formatting for word press?

Something akin to the markdown plugin for wordpress - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/markdown-for-wordpress-and-bbpress/

Also, I'm not sure if this is meta enough for it to belong on meta overflow

Nope, this pertains to WordPress more than Stack Overflow. – Repertoire

Answer 1

You want to use the Code Block Enabler plugin which encapsulates Google Prettify which is the same code formatter that Stack Overflow uses. Once you have turned that on simply alter the CSS for prettify to match the Stack Overflow colors. (Shameless plug: I did the same thing myself on my blog because I liked the formatting here as well).
