You can view it in/copy it to your favorite editor for syntax highlighting.
But I keep thinking that syntax highlighting in a newsreader would be really 
helpful.

Having had a quick look at the code, I have to say that they are doing 
virtually ALL things in the worst possible way (probably amateurs, but 
still).  Some highlights:

- all PHP code (not just template code, which can be forgiven) in the
  template
- mysqli instead of PDO (at least they didn’t use the old “mysql” module)
- SQL credentials in the source code *facepalm*
- SQL queries in the source code *facepalm*
- disabling the user’s status bar
- Fetching and displaying results row by row instead of in batches
- comparing strings as if they were numeric values :-D
- spaghetti code in event-handler attributes
- *inline* jQuery event listeners (so much for "unobtrusive Javascript") :-D
- jQuery “change” event listeners to uncheck a checkbox instead of canceling
  the “click” event :-D
- HTML5 declared, but not Valid HTML.
 
Bottom line: This code is complete JUNK.  It is a recipe for failure.
A hopeless case.  DOA.  It should be written from scratch before it is 
debugged, otherwise eye cancer and nervous breakdowns could result.
