vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Better syntax highlighting for SQL, PHP, HTML, etc. on vB.org?

Sarteck · #1 07-25-2012, 11:52 AM

Using GeSHi (Generic Syntax Highlighter), we could have highlighted code for SQL (and, IMO, better highlighting for HTML and PHP as well) as BB Codes for use on vB.org. We could also include JavaScript, CSS, and (for server optimization, etc.) BASH highlighting.

I give some examples on how to do this for vB4 here, and I don't think the process would be much more involved for vB 3.6.12 (vB.org's version). Although I guess since you have that thing where only licensed members can view code, it might get a little more involved...

But anyways. It's not any huge deal, and we've obviously gotten on well enough without it. I'd just like to bring it to your attention in case it's not previously been considered, and maybe get some member feedback on it as well.

So give it some thought (or not, if you've got your hands full elsewhere, heh). :3
