how hard would it to make it so the <code> tags would do syntax highlighting?

    hey, and thanks to whoever gave it 4 stars without downloading it.

    hey how hard do you think it would be to have it highlight category specific. Say i make a category php and then i post in tags in that category it would highlight the php code?
  • ithcyithcy New
    i don't know what you mean by "post in tags" but i think i understand. i'd have to think about it though.
  • garymardellgarymardell ✭
    i didnt mean post in tags. I what i mean is i make a php category post in that category saying <code> <?php echo "hello"; ?> </code> and it gets highlighted in php as it is in the php category.

    ok it dont work for me :( It just doesnt do anything.
  • ithcyithcy New
    did you read readme.txt?
  • garymardellgarymardell ✭
    yes i did, no highlight link or whatever you said came up
  • ithcyithcy New
    where is your forum? can you show me?
  • ithcyithcy New
    also, the highlight link only shows up next to comments that have <code> blocks in them. if you don't have a code block, you won't see a highlight link.

    i can put that option into the next version... would not be difficult. it just saves resources this way.
  • garymardellgarymardell ✭
    yeah its just that highlighting will be a key part to the site and needs to either be always on ordefaulty on
  • ithcyithcy New
    i'll start working on it just for you :)
  • garymardellgarymardell ✭
    yay :P we love you itchy! (me and my invisible lovers)
  • ithcyithcy New
    hahaa maybe instead of the highlight link i should make a "copy plain" link on each codeblock. the whole purpose of "revert" is to allow users to copy code to the clipboard without the line numbers.
