Oh, ok. I'll see.

It requires geshi (downloadable from https://github.com/GeSHi/geshi-1.0) 
and the sourceblock recipe (at 
https://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki/uploads/Cookbook/sourceblock.php). I tried 
it on a dummy server with latest pmwiki and it works out of the box.

But then again, we would only need it on Devel pages, and not in all of 
them. Now that I think about it it's pretty overkill.
