After realizing my blog was painful to read when any source code was added, I took a few hours this morning to play around.
First step was getting Windows Live Writer – that made a world of difference with regular posts. However this didn’t really solve the problem of code formatting. Next stop: Plug-ins for WLW.
I tried the first one listed with the most downloads on the plug-in website. While this one worked, it didn’t really handle long lines by embedding them in a scrolling container. So, back to the drawing board.
The second most downloaded code formatter (Code Snippet plugin for Windows Live Writer) did exactly what I wanted. AHA! Finally I’ll make it work the way I like. So after installing and testing, my blog looked WORSE.
Finally I found the problem. There’s a setting in BlogEngine.Net 2.x that specifically controls how blog category entries are displayed. It was not showing the full HTML for posts when I clicked a specific category. To fix this, just go into Settings/Basic in the Dashboard and uncheck both checkboxes here:
Now when you click a blog category, the blog posts show as they should.
