How pre my code block in laravel?

How do I post text so that it is formatted as code?

What do I need to do so that my code shows up properly — escaped when posted? And how to get the correct syntax highlighting?

<pre><code>
         <?php namespace App\Http\Requests\Auth;
        use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;
    class RegisterRequest extends FormRequest {
                public function rules()
                            {
                    return [
                            'email' => 'required|email|unique:users',
                            'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:8',
                        ];
                        }
            public function authorize()
                    {
                    return true;
                        }
                    }

</code></pre>

Maybe take a look at a "syntax highlighter" to preview your code on your website: http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/

I am having been struggled for couple of days...

Do I have to follow such as https://github.com/syntaxhighlighter/brush-php ? and dont understand.

I would have to give a space for

 "<" and "?php"

. but the codes show messing up. it does not in the order... How can I improve the codes?

I am making a very short video for example here is

Take a look here: http://jsfiddle.net/16xj8udn/

Delete the <?php tag

Include the files to your head:

<link href="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/styles/shThemeDefault.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shCore.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shAutoloader.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and run the highlighter in the bottom on your page

<script type="text/javascript"> SyntaxHighlighter.all() </script>

Please read the docs ... -> http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/manual/installation.html

Take a look at this snippet: http://jsfiddle.net/16xj8udn/1/

And take another jquery plugin -> http://balupton.github.io/jquery-syntaxhighlighter/demo/

This is working fine.
