I was referring to adding a dotted box around the highlighted code produced by
the syntaxhighlight extension.
Meaning ...
(1) modify the syntaxhighlight extension to box the highlighed code by
replacing (-) with (+)
- $css[] = "\tline-height: normal; border: 0px none white;";
+ $css[] = "\tline-height: normal; border: 1px dashed #2f6fab;";
(2) Install the syntaxhighlight extension.
