you may use skin (css file) for code block.

Examples/Usage

Enclose code snippets using <Code> and </Code> tag to show it pretty-printed in wiki page.
Prettify module makes a best effort to guess the language but works best with C-like and HTML-like languages.
To specify language hint for Prettify, you can use
1) <Code:ext> (file extension, you must put it just after “Code:” keyword) or
2) <Code lang-ext> option.
For example, use <Code:css> or <Code lang-css> to specify that the code is Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
use linenums or nolinenums option to turn on/off line numbering. You can add a colon and the number to the end of the option, eg. linenums:12 to specify start line number.
If you want to add title for code block, you can specify it after | that will be shown just above the code box.

<Code:php linenums:1 |Example #1 Our first PHP script: //hello.php//>
<html>
  <head>
  <title>PHP Test</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?> 
 </body>
</html>
</Code>

FAQ

Non-highlight code block

use <Code:none> or <Code lang-none> to prevent highlight code. Maybe useful to show error log output or console output.

<Code:none>
This is not any kind of code.
</Code>

Known Bugs and Issues

Discussion

Using current dokuwiki theme and prettifyer with <Code linenums> does print a linenumber only on every fifth. line.

To solve just add .prettyprint ol.linenums > li { list-style-type: decimal; } to lib/plugins/codeprettify/all.css
