Making my own BBCode, sort of..

Right heres the thing I have multiple files, tutorials.php lists the tutorials and view_tutorial.php displays the tutorial by getting the id. Anyways I need to display code in parts of the tutorial, with only part of it needing highlighting I can't use highlight_string();

How would I go about making a tag that wraps around my code, sits the same in the database then is displayed in a box with syntax highlighting? Also it needs to keep <html> tags in-tact, nother words I don't want them to vanish once its shown to the user.

Cheers,
Jonny.

Check out the geshi project for syntax highlighting in PHP. I use it in an open source project and it is quite awesome..

Got it going but I need to tell it to highlight only certain code, ive tried the <pre> and <div> methods, but still nothing, it comes back as plain highlighted text and I mean the whole tutorial.
