decisamente comodo il plugin di scott yang per abilitare la syntax hilight di alcuni linguaggi in wordpress, peccato che manchino tutti i dialetti html ed il javascript! :(

aggiornamento
per la gestione dell’html, dei css e js (oltre che di altri linguaggi come php, perl, asp, python) ho scoperto il plugin ig:syntax hiliter che sfrutta le librerie GeSHi per fare l’hilight del codice. Questo è decisamente più potente del precedente ma ha la limitazione di dover modificare il file quicktags.js di wordpress per permettergli di fare automaticamente l’inserimento dei tags [molto phpBB] nel post.

Integrating PHP and OpenOffice – Using PHP to Dynamically Manipulate and Convert OO documents
You have probably already heard about OpenOffice, the Open Source Office suite that is now used by millions of people worldwide. One of the key points in OpenOffice’s mission is that its file formats are saved so that they can be accessible to anyone. In this article, CMS expert Bård Farstard will look into the OOo XML storage format to see if it’s really as open as they claim and show you how you can manipulate OpenOffice files from within your PHP applications.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat – ZIP on the Fly with the Streams API
In human languages, the meaning of words tends to change over time. The word “porcelain” traces its root to “porcus”—Latin for pig. Functions in PHP also have a way of acquiring capabilities beyond what their names suggest. Once upon a time, the “f” in [fopen()] had stood for “file.” Nowadays, [fopen()] can open many other things. Join Cheung W. Leong as he guides you through the creation of a system that takes advantage of PHP’s stream functionality to create ZIP files on-the-fly.

Exposing Web application data semantically using RAP (RDF API for PHP)
If you spend any amount of time following the latest technology trends, you are undoubtedly familiar with RSS and the “Semantic Web”, which have enabled a new way of consuming Web content based upon standards for exchanging syndication information. By exposing Web content as machine readable data, new services have been created that were previously impossible to build. This article will take you beyond RSS and explain what semantic data is, why it is important, and how you can expose your Web application data semantically using the open source RDF API for PHP. Code samples will be provided for creating and integrating FOAF, RSS and Geo-graphic semantic data.

Roll Your Own Template
Template engines are a “must use” in simple to complex web applications because they provide a way to separate presentation from logic. This makes this kind of software simple to manage and fast to develop. Template engines, however, can also be a performance bottleneck. In this great article, Sérgio Machado shows you how to build a template system with the following features in mind (in order of importance): lightweight (performance and ease of use), support for operations and functions for data manipulation (power and control to the developer) and simplicity.
