(Get the code!)
No worries, zim will not become a source code editor, there are indeed plenty of those available already. Indeed you can link source files and open them with your standard editor.
However highlighting small snippets is a nice feature for people taking notes about software but also examples of HTML / CSS etc. The way I would like to do this is by re-using the gtksourceview widget which is pretty good in basic features. The viewer would then embed one or more sourceview widgets into a page like small frames. Re-using that widget will isolate zim from a flood of feature requests.
As stated before this is low on my priority list. On the other hand do I need to look at embedded widgets for other features as well, which might make it very simple to add this one as well.
