Syntax highlighting on this forum

JasonBarnabe

Is the syntax highlighting on this forum available as a plugin, or is it a paid-only feature?

function example() {
  var foo = "bar";
}

The source code says it's using a plugin called GooglePrettify which I have not seen in any of the open source repos yet.

Hovever, like the Prettyprint plugin, it just implements Google prettify, which is pretty much a 4-step process:

the class can bee added with javascript, like the PrettyPrint plugin does it, or you could try this: (untested)

public function Base_AfterCommentFormat_Handler($Sender, &$Args) {
    $Args['Object']->FormatBody = str_replace('<pre>', '<pre class="prettyprint">', $Args['Object']->FormatBody);
}

This forum uses a plugin for syntaxhighlighting and is called: PrettyPrint (available for everybody). The highlighting is fully based on javascript.

Yeah, I figured it wasn't much work to do but I would prefer no work over a little.

Vanilla dudes, any chance we can get that open sourced?

A pretty good one.

Well that's encouraging but ambiguous...

I'm not the final word on this. I put it on my tentative list for the upcoming shuffle, tho.
