Subject: Syntax highligth with textile: Syntax+RedCloth ?

Hi gurus and nubys,

I was trying to mix RedCloth[1] with Syntax[2] and I'm
facing some small problems.
The idea is to forward parsing of <pre> tags to the HTML convertor
withouth touching the rest of the code.
I thought that I could subclass RedCloth and override #smooth_offtags
which seem quite nice since the starting <pre> tag is carried till that 
point, which could allow, for example, parsing of something like
<pre lang="ruby">.

The problem is in the fact that RC escapes html entities before this 
step, and thus when I call #convert on the string Syntax will tokenize 
them and give back bad html.

Has someone ever faced this before and has an alternate solution?

thanks in advance.
