The announcement of the successful kernel porting was made on the Linux on the iPhone blog, complete with instructions and source code.

Although a bootloader, kernel and a Busybox terminal are able to be loaded — many features of the iPhone remain unimplemented: touchscreen, sound, accelerometer, networking. Input to the terminal must be made via a USB interface from another device that the iPhone is attached to (humorously summed up by Geek Hero Comic).

The group that ported the kernel is derived from the iPhone DevTeam group that has been responsible for jailbreaking previous iPhone software.

However, the software maker was quick to underline that the product is aimed at developers and not intended to directly compete with popular blogging software such as WordPress or Movable Type.

Microsoft posted the Oxite code on its CodePlex Web site on Friday and made an official announcement on Monday. The software, described as an alpha release, is available under the Microsoft Public License, one of Microsoft’s OSI-certified open-source licenses.

Oxite is a standards-compliant, extensible content-management system designed to support either blogs or larger Web sites, Microsoft said. The platform includes support for features such as pingbacks, trackbacks, anonymous or authenticated commenting, gravatars (globally recognized avatars), and RSS feeds at any page level, the company said.

Users can create and edit a set of pages on a site, add customized HTML into pages, and support multiple blogs on a single site.

Oxite is also able to integrate with Microsoft developer software such as ASP.Net MVC, Visual Studio Team Suite, and Background Services Architecture. The project began as a way of demonstrating the capabilities of ASP.Net MVC to developers, Microsoft said.

The Web site for Mix Online was built using Oxite, and Microsoft is providing the Mix Online Web site code for developers to learn from. Mix Online is the online community centered on Microsoft’s Mix Web developer conference.

Oxite is not a direct competitor to existing, established blogging systems, nor is it intended to challenge Microsoft’s own SharePoint, which includes content-management-system capabilities, according to Oxite project coordinator Erik Porter.

The software is intended for developers but could eventually be made suitable for the general public, Porter wrote in an Oxite discussion forum.

“We have no plans to make this anything but a really good developer sample that should be able to run any site you want,” he wrote. “That said, this is a community project now and, if the community decides to take it a different direction, we won’t stop it.”

Placing the code

Place your code on the page and surround it with <pre> tag. Set name attribute to code and class attribute to one of the language aliases you wish to use.

<pre name="code" class="c-sharp">
... some code here ...
</pre>

NOTE: One important thing to watch out for is opening triangular bracket <. It must be replaced with an HTML equivalent of &lt; in all cases. Failure to do won’t break the page, but might break the source code displayed.

An alternative to <pre> is to use <textarea> tag. There are no problems with < character in that case. The main problem is that it doesn’t look as good as <pre> tag if for some reason JavaScript didn’t work (in RSS feed for example).

<textarea name="code" class="c#" cols="60" rows="10">
... some code here ...
</textarea>

Extended configuration

There’s a way to pass a few configuration options to the code block. It’s done via colon separated arguments.

<pre name="code" class="html:collapse">
... some code here ...
</pre>

Making it work

Finally, to get the whole thing to render properly on the page, you have to add JavaScript to the page.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/SyntaxHighlighter.css"></link>
<script language="javascript" src="js/shCore.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="js/shBrushCSharp.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" src="js/shBrushXml.js"></script>
<script language="javascript">
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.ClipboardSwf = '/flash/clipboard.swf';
dp.SyntaxHighlighter.HighlightAll('code');
</script>

For optimal result, place this code at the very end of your page. Check HighlightAll for more details about the function.

Here’s a list of supported languages and their aliases:

Language Aliases
C++ cpp, c, c++
C# c#, c-sharp, csharp
CSS css
Delphi delphi, pascal
Java java
Java Script js, jscript, javascript
PHP php
Python py, python
Ruby rb, ruby, rails, ror
Sql sql
VB vb, vb.net
XML/HTML xml, html, xhtml,

These options allow you to individually configure text blocks.

nogutter Will display no gutter.
nocontrols Will display no controls at the top.
collapse Will collapse the block by default.
firstline[value] Will begin line count at value. Default value is 1.
showcolumns Will show row columns in the first line.

The options are passed together with the alias and are separated by a colon : character.

<pre name="code" class="html:nocontrols:firstline[10]">
... some code here ...
</pre>
