Nokia partners with Microsoft

Nokia and Microsoft today announced the signing of a definitive agreement on a partnership that will result in a new global mobile ecosystem, utilizing the very complementary assets of both companies. Completed ahead of schedule, the definitive agreement is consistent with the joint announcement made on February 11.

In addition to agreeing to the terms of their partnership, including joint contributions to the development of the new ecosystem, Nokia and Microsoft also announced significant progress on the development of the first Nokia products incorporating Windows Phone. With hundreds of personnel already engaged on joint engineering efforts, the companies are collaborating on a portfolio of new Nokia devices. Nokia has also started porting key applications and services to operate on Windows Phone and joint outreach has begun to third party application developers.

For most of my codes in post posts I use the “Preformatted” style from the drop down menu in the Visual editor of WordPress. It works quite well for demonstrating sections of code or screen output. However, there is a problem with using Preformatted and that is the issue with word wrapping.

 

Preformatted style in WordPress uses the <pre> HTML tag. The <pre> tag does not word wrap any of the sentences contained within, and if you are using a defined space for displaying the text, as with the theme on my WordPress, you may find that your examples are shortened and the text appears over the sidebar or scroll bar appears. There is a fix to this problem that requires some minor style tag modifications for the <pre> tags that seem to run off into the distance.

This tutorial tell you how to add syntax highlighting to Blogger with Alex Gorbatchev’s open-source SyntaxHighlighter Using autoloader method.
Advantages of this method:
SyntaxHighlighter contains a lot of brushes. Previously one had to explicitly load all the brushes required. But this method load them dynamically without having to load them all on the same page. So the brushes get loaded only when they are called, thus reducing page load time to great extent. …..
