Is there an alternative to [sourcecode] tags to add code samples on a wordpress.com blog? [closed]

Question

I have a programming blog on Wordpress.com that uses [sourcecode] tags for the syntax highlighting, however I got a comment from someone saying the scrollbars don't appear on an iPad. I've also noticed that if I'm at work and haven't bypassed our internet filters, I don't get scrollbars either.

Is there an alternative markup I can use to post readable code-samples on Wordpress.com?

I've never done much with blogs before, so if you suggest something like an plug-in, I'll need an idiots guide to setting it up :)

Answer 1

No, there isn't. If you want an alternative, you will have to set up your own WordPress installation, where you can install any plugin you want.

I would suggest you contact wordpress.com support, describing the problems you have:

Answer 2

I think, [code] [/code] and [source] [/source] are alternates for [sourcecode] tag.
