Forum syntax highlighting

uli · 2014-01-10 15:21:36

Since the forum upgrade in December 2013 this forum supports syntax highlighting.
The supported language identifiers currently are

apacheconf
clike
coffeescript
css
git
haml
javascript (or js)
json
less
markup (or html)
markdown
nginx
perl
php
ruby
sass
scss
sql
stylus
textile
txp
yaml

I want to encourage you using it, the results are more structured, hence easier to read, and faults in code can be found quicker. It’s super simple:

bc. txp
<txp:article limit='<txp:variable name="post_limit" />' pageby="10" />

The extra effort in code here are three letters, txp, after the code block opener bc. and a return after the identifier.

The above example results in the following code display:

<txp:article limit='<txp:variable name="post_limit" />' pageby="10" />

Edit: Post completely rewritten.

awesome. and great that there’s now syntax highlighting with txp.

<txp:article_custom category="appreciated" limit="1" wraptag="div">
  <h2><txp:title /></h2>
  <txp:body />
</txp:article_custom>

Thanks for the very nice <txp:subject />-tag. ;-)

mrdale, how could you change the text without the standard indicating that the post was modified?

Strange.

Since the forum upgrade, moderator’s checkboxes “Silent edit” are checked by default, whereas that one from the prior version was unchecked. You could edit and simply ignore the checkbox. Now you have to be aware of the checkbox and tick it.
Els has asked already to change that new feature back.

Added: Incidentally came across Gocom’s reply.

This should be a sticky in every category of the boards. It’s too overlooked in one little unpopular room.

which syntaxes are supported by code coloring?

If I only learned how to read ;)

Highlighting complex txp tags is rather messy:

<txp:tag
    att='<txp:tag
        att=''<txp:tag
            att="<txp:php a=""2"">echo $a;</txp:php>"
        />''
    />'
/>

It should be safe to include our prism-txp.js file to the stack.
