SyntaxHighlighter - Call SyntaxHighlighter.all() to highlight dynamically generated XML

I have javascript code that generates XML, and calls the SyntaxHighlighter.all() method to highlight the added XML. I do not receive errors in the console but neither does highlighting take place.

javascript:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/syntaxhighlighter_3.0.83/scripts/shCore.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/syntaxhighlighter_3.0.83/scripts/shBrushXml.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="js/syntaxhighlighter_3.0.83/styles/shCoreDefault.css"

<script>
    function generateXML()
        {
            var result="<test>WHATEVA</test>";

            alert(result);

            var regex1 = new RegExp('<', 'g');
            var regex2 = new RegExp('>', 'g');

             result = "<pre class='brush: xml'>" + result.replace(regex1,'&lt;').replace(regex2,'&gt;')+"</pre>";

            document.getElementById("generatedXML").innerHTML = result;     
        }
</script>

HTML

    <input id="addOUTPUTButton" type="button" value="Generate XML"  onclick="generateXML()"/>
    <input id="test" type="button" value="Test"  onclick="SyntaxHighlighter.all();"/>
<div id="generatedXML">
</div>

Understood. I was hoping to get an answer that would also support the newer version. Either way the jsfiddle is broken so at least adding a comment mentioning version might be helpful.

Thanks for the reply.

The solution is to use highlight() instead of all().

Here is a JSFiddle, note that external resources are used: http://jsfiddle.net/menelaosbgr/TXzZH/
