: CMS for code snippets? Possible Duplicate: Which Content Management System (CMS) should I use? I need the most simple way to publish code snippets in PHP, Javascript, HTML and CSS.

As Xananax already wrote there are many to choose from. In our company we use WikkaWiki. It has a pretty good syntax highlighter based on GeSHi. And you can have categories too.

Almost any CMS you choose answers those requirements (save for the syntax highlighting when typing, that I've never seen unless in ace or cloud9).
You could close your eyes and just randomly pick one.
Here are my personal recommendations:


If you want something set up in less than an hour, I'd recommend wordpress with crayon syntax highlighter. In wordpress, if you set up your categories well, you can easily have any url you like.
If you want more flexibility (for example "yoursite/html/" shows all html snippets instead of 404ing, then I'd advise for Drupal. The URL scheming is extremely variable and you can create new types of content and views very easily. This is how it would go:


Download drupal and the views plugin, and a syntax highlighter plugin (there is a plethora)
Create a new type of content, call it "snippet", add two fields: language and text
Create a view, and set rules to display and filter snippets according to url parameters /snippets/%language%/%snippet-id%

If you want something even more flexible (and my personal favorite), then get silverstripe. It's extremely flexible, extremely coder-friendly. But you'll have to code a little. As I am a coder, I think this is faster and easier than wordpress/drupal/other cmses that try to avoid you having to type anything.
