Is there an easy way to post an answer with syntax highlighting?

Um... the question is in the title I suppose.

I've sometimes posted screenshots of code because the colours are nice, but of course you can't cut and paste from it.

I have occassionally coloured the text manually in the answer editor... but only when I had the perverse compulsion to set fire to time and cover it in bees.

Sadly, I think the only options are screenshots or hand-changing the colors (or maybe a combination of screenshot with pasted text). Or perhaps if one really wanted to call in the bees (more like angry wasps), one could write a syntax parser and set the colors in HTML in the copy buffer before pasting into the answer field? Hmmmm...will add that idea to the list...
