I use Google Docs to make my programming notes. For which I have to write some code examples. As you know that writing code requires the syntax to be highlighted. But unfortunately, Google Docs lacks this feature. So I tried to search for an appropriate solution to highlight my code examples. And I have come across a solution which I am going to share with you. I know that this solution is not perfect, but it works for me :-)
Step 1: Open www.Snipt.net and Sign Up for new account.
Step 2: After signing in click on the Add Snipt button.
| Click on Add Snipt |
Step 3: Write your code in given area, select appropriate language from dropdown and click save button.
| Adding code on Snipt.net |
Step 4: You can see in below image that your code is colourized. Select this colourized code and copy it.

Step 5: Paste this code into Google Docs (Google Documents or Google Presentation). Here is the result.
| Syntax Highlighting on Google Documents with white background page. |
Note:
- If you are feeling difficulty in reading code on Google Docs then make it bold.
- Be sure that background of Google Documents or Google Presentation is white. Otherwise the result will be like this...
| Syntax Highlighting on Google Presentation with blue background slide. |
