Syntax highlighting of attached files (especially diffs).

tcline

It'd have to be deveoped to nicely interface with the attachment module but.. Having an extension to provide silvercity and/or enscript highlighting for attachments would be damn-fine. I'm using trac for managment of an osticket extension -- and it's great to view diffs but it's format isn't very conducive to discussion -- so I'm using vanilla for a forum. trac highlighting info: http://osticketcommunity.ath.cx/trac/wiki/TracSyntaxColoring diff highlighting example: http://osticketcommunity.ath.cx/trac/attachment/ticket/24/fixtags.diff

Is it really that unintelligible? Syntax highlighting of attachments, specifically, unified diffs.

To be honest i dont really understand either. I havent used the attatchment extension but i assumed it just uploaded a file to the server which other members could download? Does it actually display the full file? Cause that could get silly.

Am I really this bad at communicating? =/

Plain 'n Simple:
I envision an extension that works in conjuction with the attachment extension to provides optional highlighting of source code and other related file formats.

Example:
- fixtags.diff view highlighted

Imagine that second link appearing after the primary attachment link in :

/me wonders if he needs to mock it up in gimp..

I understand this perfectly. I don't think you could do it without fiddling with the attachment extension though.

Ahh, well in this case, yes. If you build it, they will use.
