Thank you for moving the support thread to the right place! And the plugin would not exist without your help, anyway.

Does this only embed code from external files or can you highlight code within the article? From the help it seemed the code must always be a seperate file.

Re: jea_pygments_txp - syntax highlighting for textpattern with Pygments
You are right, version 0.1 only supports highlighting code from a file that resides in your file upload directory. Highlighting code within the tag content is not supported yet. This feature is on top of my roadmap for the next release, along with an explicit way to specify the language of the embedded code. I’ll drop you a notice when done.

This might be a total shot in the dark, but can this be used to highlight the admin-side Pages and Forms textareas? I’m certain I already know the answer but just thought I’d ask….
Thanks by the way!

Re: jea_pygments_txp - syntax highlighting for textpattern with Pygments
Admittedly, I am new to TextPattern so please bare with me. I just installed v0.2 of your plugin and can not get it to work. I do have pygment installed on the webserver (I am currently hosting with DreamHost so had to use the virtualenv) and can run pygment.
I went ahead and tried using the sample python code from your readme and have even copy and pasted your entire readme into a Test article (http://twistedcode.org/articles/5/test), but the only thing that shows up is the actual code in small letters (due to the .pre beforehand I believe).
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Re: jea_pygments_txp - syntax highlighting for textpattern with Pygments
Ok, I apologize for taking up anybody’s time that actually read this. I found out what the issue was, do not enter the pre. before the
<txp:jea_highlight lang=‘python’><notextile>
def hypotenuse(a, b):
return sqrt(a*a + b*b);
</notextile></txp:jea_highlight>

Re: jea_pygments_txp - syntax highlighting for textpattern with Pygments
No problem at all! And I noticed that there is also some feedback hidden in your post! I might add an inline attribute that allows very short pieces of code to be passed by attribute value instead of entering code within the tag content. That will make testing easier. If you like to avoid the hassle of embedding code directly within a textpattern article’s content, you might rather include code by specifying a file instead. I also confirm that Dreamhost+virtualenv works fine for me, too.
