Is a program like this suitable?

Here's one that is shareware:

If these are the kinds of solutions you're looking for, I'll be glad
to find other programs to help you hide your source code. If none of
these are suitable, it would be very helpful if you could give more
details about exactly what you need.

Thanks for asking!

It's not possible to truly hide your source code -and- publish on the
Web. It is possible to add several degrees of difficulty to the
process.

Tutorial: Hiding Source Code
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Vortex Design explains why it's so difficult to truly hide source
code. Browsers, in the hands of the unscrupulous, or merely the
curious, provide all the tools necessary to defeat most schemes to
hide source code.

An excerpt: "While it is possible to make it difficult for people to
view your source code, you cannot stop someone who really wants it. It
has been suggested that using javascript to disable right-click or
encrypting the HTML may be effective. It is far more likely that
employing these easily circumvented techniques will only encourage
people to "steal" your code. In all probability, they don't want it
until you tell them they can't have it."

suggestions in the list are tongue-in-cheek, given to humorously
illustrate the difficulty involved.

Blank Lines

Additionally, some web pages simply use blank lines to disguise their
code from casual borrowers. This generally doesn't affect the display
or indexing in any way, however, it's been discounted as a method that
is "too simple".
