Since bug 4801 was fixed, it is now possible to preview the source code of scripts and stylesheets when editing CSS and JS pages. Nonetheless, the source code is displayed in a <pre> instead of being highlighted (as happens e.g. after the page is saved). It would be useful to have Geshi highlighting applied to the code during preview, because then the users wouldn't need to put <source> tags around the code (as in the URL above).
Changing component to Geshi.
I'm not sure this really has anything to do with Geshi, does it? This would require previews to use Geshi, is all.

Geshi is the highlighting library.
I recall reading a comment in another bug that this would require a new hook for extensions (I don't remember what bug it was, though, and I couldn't find the comment when I looked earlier)... Am I misremembering, or is that correct?
This bug has not been touched in at least six months. With this in mind, I've been asked by the bugmeister to bump this bug's priority down for "High". Concerns can be addressed to mah@everybody.org.
I just tested and this seems to have been fixed by the set of patches for bug 64859.
