[vtkusers] Examples on the wiki, this is how to highlight the relevant lines

[Francois Bertel]

An alternative might be to break down the source code.

I just changed http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Visualization/PointSize
so that the source code is broken down into three pieces (as an
experiment to another alternative):

<source lang="cpp">
first part here
</source>
<source lang="cpp" highlight="1">
  actor->GetProperty()->SetPointSize(3);
</source>
<source lang="cpp">
3rd part here
</source>
