Ideas: 1) Does ReplaceText support multi-line find-and-replace with captures? Perhaps instead of replacing just those tags, you replace the whole <code lang="lang">...</code> block, with a capture inside to put the content back into the page with the new syntaxhighlight syntax. 2) How many <code></code> pages are there? If not many, get a list of them. Then either change just those pages to something else <tempcode></tempcode>, then do all your syntaxhighlight pages, then come back and replace tempcode with code. Basically, change them so they won't be found by your main ReplaceText run. 3) There may be some scripts in the maintenance folder that can do this, or could have more power than ReplaceText to do regex captures.
