Simple Java HTML syntax highlighter for XML code

This simple code snippet will generate better looking html for <pre> elements with XML snippets in them. It may be dirty, but it's simple and effective.

public final String highlight(String source)
{
 source = source.replaceAll("<([^>/]*)/>", "&lt;~blue~1ドル~/~/&gt;");
 source = source.replaceAll("<([^>]*)>", "&lt;~blue~1ドル~/~&gt;");
 source = source.replaceAll("([\\w]+)=\"([^\"]*)\"", "~red~1ドル~/~~black~=\"~/~~green~2ドル~/~~black~\"~/~");
 source = source.replaceAll("~([a-z]+)~", "<span style=\"color: 1ドル;\">");
 source = source.replace("~/~", "</span>");
 return source;
}
