Fix SyntaxHighlighter to display tumblr Markdown URLs

I write these tumblr blog posts using the Markdown syntax, which automatically detects and transforms URLs into proper HTML links. Though, things get messed up when I syntax highlight them with SyntaxHighlighter.

I see something like (as displayed by the browser):

http://example.com

instead of the expected:

http://example.com

So I dug into the code, and come up with this patch (apply into revision b7578b438a69):

      // remove CDATA from <SCRIPT/> tags if it's present
      if (conf.useScriptTags)

The text to highlight is now obtained from the innerText (works on IE / Chrome) or the textContent (works on Firefox / Chrome) property.

I’m left wondering why innerHTML was used in the first place… anyway, it now works as I expected!
