It would be great yest. But I don't think GeSHi has support for octave
code so someone would have to add it. Since the wiki has templates for
code blocks and lines, the best place to use the synatx highlight
would be in these 2 pages:

http://octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Code
http://octave.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Codeline

and wiki editors would use these Templates rather than blocks
themselves. This should make the wiki look more consistent.

The list of all current templates is here
