Follow up with yesterday:
you can get my Scala syntax gem extension here, and read below for the instructions on how to install it.

First here is the result:

/**
 so much fun
*/
class Auction(seller: Actor, minBid: Int, closing: Date) extends Actor {
  val StringForFun = "hello"
  val timeToShutdown = 36000000 // msec
  val bidIncrement = 10
  def act() {
    var maxBid = minBid - bidIncrement
    var maxBidder: Actor = null
    var running = true
    while (running) {
      receiveWithin ((closing.getTime() - new Date().getTime())) {
        case Offer(bid, client) =>
          if (bid >= maxBid + bidIncrement) {
            if (maxBid >= minBid) maxBidder ! BeatenOffer(bid)
            maxBid = bid; maxBidder = client; client ! BestOffer
          } else {
            client ! BeatenOffer(maxBid)
          }
        case Inquire(client) =>
          client ! Status(maxBid, closing)
        case TIMEOUT =>
          if (maxBid >= minBid) {
            val reply = AuctionConcluded(seller, maxBidder)
            maxBidder ! reply; seller ! reply
          } else {
            seller ! AuctionFailed
          }
          receiveWithin(timeToShutdown) {
            case Offer(_, client) => client ! AuctionOver
            case TIMEOUT => running = false
          }
      }
    }
  }
}

You will need to add those CSS elements to display things correctly:

pre {
	background: #000000 repeat-x;
	color: #00FF00;
	font-family: arial, 'lucida console', sans-serif;
	line-height: 160%;
	font-size: 120%;
}

code {
	color: #00EE00;
	font-style: bold;
	font-family: arial, 'lucida console', sans-serif;
}	

.comment { color: #333; font-style: italic; }
.keyword { color: #eff; font-weight: bold; }
.punct { color: #444; font-weight: bold; }
.symbol { color: #0bb; }
.string { color: #6b4; }
.ident { color: #00b; }
.constant { color: #66f; }
.regex { color: #a82; }
.number { color: #a33; }
.expr { color: #227; }

Then on your machine, you will need ruby and rubygems installed, and install redcloth and syntax:

gem install syntax
gem install redcloth

Put your sample into a text file in the same folder as run.rb, then run:

ruby run.rb myscala.txt > output.html

That’s about it. It’d be great to develop the same things for Java and CSS. In the mean time, enjoy!
