I am the author of JUSH. It doesn’t support so many languages but the support for LAMP stack is much more powerful. JUSH is able to detect MySQL queries used in PHP functions, JavaScript code in HTML attributes and so on and highlight this context.

Also came across Gist's from GitHub today. Nice and easy and comes complete with line numbering and the ability to view the code as plain text which means it's easy to copy. http://gist.github.com/

Unfortunately, GeSHi isn’t client side based.

There’s a better way with GeSHi – http://qbnz.com/highlighter/ and it’s free

I personally prefer Lighter.js which uses the awesome mootools library. It’s lightweight and can be used for various languages.

There is also Google’s code prettify http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/ It doesn’t support as many languages but it will prettify code without specifying what language it is written in and that can come in handy sometimes.

If you use the Copy to clipboard button you don’t get the numbers, just the original code.
